From the attached illustration, I would say that it is a seat lifting strut, gas spring, similar to those that lift hatch back windows.

It comes with the saddlebags, holds the seat open because the seat hits the saddlebag.

gas springs / gas shocks come dated, like milk

This a new, recent harley kit ?

At the rate harley sells v-rod parts some could be well after the best before date.

That said I have some, on trunks of a couple of old cars, that haven't hurt anyone yet
