Something homemade.... Those are attachted to the OEM centerstand brackets, but what they're for is anybody's guess...

I was thinking some kind of hard bag mount.

Maybe for a garage stand instead of a centre stand. Like Sport bikes use.Tom

I'm pretty sure it would have been for a trailer towing frame~~often home made frame~~center stand is removed for these two "front attach spots" for the tow-bar/frame/hitch.JCarltonRiggs

I don't think they are home made they are machined one still has a cap on the end and the outside has a diamond cut pattern all around and punched hole through 3/8ths from the end for a pin and they had a chrome finish

I've known of three different riders that have made the their own hitch for towing, over the last 20+ years; done on three different motorcycles. They're always sad to have to part with the centerstand when doing this. Much better setup for towing and overall stability and handling, than "store-bought".JCarltonRiggs
