✅ SOLVED A small grooved metal pipe/tube

[kyle369]

1 3/8" long and approximately 1/4" in diameter. Has a little metal "rod" attached to a rectangular piece of metal just inside one of the ends. Makes me think it's a hose/pipe/plumbing sort of thing...

Looks like an air valve fitting.
The barbed side vs threaded is interesting.
A remote fill through a hose to an airbag or shock or something, maybe.

Maybe some type of valve stem ?

Hey np, not saying yours came from an MC but I've seen alot like that through the years with aftermarket air shocks. Barbed Schrader valve I'm pretty sure🤘

I found it in my front yard. The house dates to the early 1970s. I did find a 1949 Polish 1 Grosz coin in the same yard for some inexplicable reason!
