it's been a while since I worked on the bike.  such are the disadvantages of an unheated garage.  i now have several piles of bolts, washers, and other miscellany...  So these three washers fell from somewhere in the rear tire assembly.  the center washer is slightly smaller in outer diameter than the other two.  they form a sandwich, I just don't know where they go.  no diagram i've found shows them.  I have a '77 RE 350.



thanks
Rob

They are not in my parts book that goes back to the '90's. There is a distance washer that goes on the axle where it comes through the brake plate. If that is missing, then a previous owner may have substituted these washers.

They don't look like things from the rear wheel, but they look like they could be thrust washers for the crankshaft.

That's what I was thinking, too.  Ever done the crank?
