I made a silly mistake when installed my rear wheel bearings and ended up fscking up this part, which holds the caliper in place and connects to the axle and the swingarm:
thing is, I don't know what it is called to search for it - part number is even better. bike is a 2009 FXDC.
smartass here removed both wheel bearings and when reinstalled forgot to check if the rotor was running properly inside of the gap... everything went in just fine, but a few thousand miles later the rotor ate a good chunck of this bracket. fixed the bearings position, but now there is a risk that the inner pad will 'fall off' the caliper when it gets really thin, so i'd better replace it.
