Mystery part! cb550

Been Around the Block
I've done it! I have reassembled my bike and have a leftover part.
Can anyone tell me what this is? sorry for the shitty picture.

looks like the rear wheel spacer that is usually in the little rubber part of the hub.
 
Does it go on the inside of the hub assembly? because there were other spacers that went on the outside that are installed.
 
How large a part are we looking at? From first glance, I'd agree that it is a wheel spacer.
but if it is not as large as I think it is...?
 
If you can see in the upper left there is a 12mm socket. That should give an idea of the size. It's not a small part

Not sure on the 550,
But my 350 had a little spacer like that between the engine and frame in the front engine mount.
 
Did you by chance get a different wheel or hub for the rear during your build? A lot of times those things are still stuck in there. If so you may have an extra.
 
No its the hub that came on the bike. And I already have the engine spacers installed so it can't go there. The only place I could think it would go would be inside the hub under the drum brake plate.

In this picture looks like it's most likely #7 or #14.

It's not #7 I have that spacer installed for sure. When I get the chance I will take the rear wheel off and look inside the hub

Thanks for the help everyone. i turned out that I had a different axle spacer where this one was supposed to go. Got them all swapped out and installed and now the spacing is perfect!
