Can you name this part?
I am a forum lurker, not so much a heavy poster so you wont see much of me if I cannot help. But with this first post, I need some help and have run out of options. I bought a 2008 fatboy that needed a belt. The bike had been disassembled and I have accounted for all the parts except for one, the one in the picture. I have looked around the manual and have not had any luck locating it. I really don't want to put the bike together to find out it went behind the belt or something. My guess is just a cover spacer but that's just a guess. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Here is the drawing I had, which doesn't seem to include that little tid bit of information. Thanks again!
Doesn't look like it is going to allow me to add the drawing picture for some reason so your just going to have to trust me, its not there

I’ve heard people claim those automatic tensioners overtighten, and can destroy the output bearing on the transmission. There is a hydraulic version. While you have it apart would be a good time to research it. I have an o6 and bought the automatic, the first time I was back in there it was very tight. I went back to the manual tensioner. That’s my opinion.

I bought the latest version of the automatic, 39929-06b. It had the A version in it and was worn enough that I wanted it replaced while I was in here. Hopefully I can get some miles out of it. I guess it all comes down to where the grooves click on the tensioner. Thanks for the suggestion though. I may go to manual if I have to go back in here.
