It's triumphs version of a wheel weight

my steamer came with em just like the one in the pic  from the factory
to remove just lever it up with a screwdriver and slip it off the spoke on the slot

Like Mustang said,
originally it was there to balance the wheel,
if you are putting new boots on remove the old weight and get the wheel balanced,the new weights (if any) will more than likley be fixed in a new place and on the rim

Nothing wrong with that sort of weight - what we all used to use with steel rims.

I prefer that type of weight to the stick-ons.  Dual star sells them in lead.  You can also get them in chromed steel from the various Harley sources.
