✅ 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 ?

Schrader valve for air ride suspension. Alot of 70-80s bike had air ride

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!
