That's a front fairing stay... And I believe those are made of magnesium IIRC... (not that it really matters...Hahaha)... Just reading through threads at work and figured I would chime in just in case you tried to look for this part on ebay or in one of the parts vendors on the site...
There are also a few threads on here where people had initially listed a few of those for sale... Idk if they still have em... Wouldn't hurt to do a quick search...
