I'm not sure if you are asking what it is but if you are it's for your turn signal. Here it is connected on my 79 L82 w/ Tilt/Tele

That part attaches to your turn signal switch like above photo shows. The follower (Ball) rides in the channel of your dimmer pivot. Put a dab of lithium grease in the pivot channel.
