Don't think so. No way to attach a tire.

looks like it could hold a 10" rim.

it would mount under the pillion pad on a GL, sprint...

I can't tell from the angle, but if the studs on the face are in a square pattern I'd bet it's for an 8" super type rim. if there's two wider and two narrower top and bottom I'd guess for a 10" tire and a license plate

either way, it's most likely home brewed from upcycled parts
