So I was taking the battery out of my bike (99 Honda Shadow 750 ACE) to ship it this past December, when two parts of the bike I'd never seen fell out from somewhere near the battery case. They sort of look like hair curlers and I suspect maybe they were wrapped around the battery cables? (See the photo)

unknown part

Any guesses as to what they might be are appreciated!

Those are definitely devices for holding hair in place. enter image description here

As for what purpose (if any) they were serving in your motorcycle, one can only guess!

My first thought is that they are a spacer or shim to prevent the battery from sliding back and forth in the battery box.
