Hi, the bike I just bought has one of these attached to the front brake lever mount.. I'm presuming it's for locking the brake when parked on a hill ?? IMG_20230719_172838.jpg

Yep, missing a release spring.
With the spring when you pull in the front brake lever, it disengages.
To engage, you pull in the front brake lever and raise up the handle and it locks the brake lever.
A nice piece of kit - basically a parking brake for a ST1100.
Got them on all 4 of my ST1100s.
 
I have a pendle park brake on my ST1300PA. An item i did not know about but after using I realized i had always wanted one.
