Look like somebody converted your from mid controls to forward. That's a plug to cover the hole left behind by the old shifter shaft.

Just checked the Harley site on this install and they recommend a sealant around the hole, install the plug and wipe away the sealant. Could use some clear RTV and clean around it with mineral spirits on a rag. Don't spray it on, you could wash away the sealant. let cure for 12-24 hours.

Ahreed, it's above the oil line, and that shouldn't be continually rotating like it was when the bike had mid controls.
