What is this?

Guessing its part of the crown from a pair of triple clamp forks?

If it is I would say it's more decorative than functional! Is it steel?What's the rough size?Any marks where something has been fitted to it?
I'm thinking American Chopper or key to Pandora's Box.Puzzling one.

Giant cantilever straddle cable thingy?

Any bolts on it?

Doesn't look like it'd fit on any forks.

Its steel
Just the three bolt holes through the center.

Its approx 4'' by 8 3/4'' so its quite a big component

I think it might be a crown for a pair of old ass triple clamp DH forks.

Similar to the old Boxxers where the stem clamps on?

Maybe its just an odd random thingymahjig that has nothing to do with bikes and just ended up in a box of parts which is more than possible.

*chucks in bin only to discover its a priceless artifact*

I'm going with the thigymahjig.Nothing there to clamp forks/steerer with securely.
Early Harley bar-mounted sundial or the end of a snooker rest from Ozzy Osbourne's giant-sized medieval snooker table.
Knuckle duster for a very large pig? (What's pink and hard?)
Think I'll leave it there.

I reckon it is a handle for a tool of some kind.

Or a cattle brand.
