Is it a conrod or a banana?

No, it's for standing on the rear axle so you can ride wheelies easier. Pretty dangerous unless you have a rear brake lever on the handlebar.

I call it that long, skinny thing that goes between the crank and slug.
It's interesting how the hotrodding culture after WWII changed a lot of engine and mechanical nomenclature. I used to have a rad rail with fuelie heads, a blower, a rad bumpstick, and a stroker crank. One day at the strip a slug hit a valve, bent a conrod, and really ruined my run.
The proper Cambridge English translation: I used to have a highly moddified, 1/4 mile racing vehicle with fuel injected cylinder heads, an induction supercharger, an aggressively profiled camshaft, and a highly altered crankshaft and connecting rod assembly. One day at the local 1/4 mile racing facility, a piston struck a cylinder head intake valve, bent a connecting rod, and caused extensive damage that brought my competition efforts to a halt.
Thank goodness for slang...LOL!

Or we could wait around for a few days to see if it turns black.
