Now Where Did This Come From?
If it was me, the steps from here would be:
1) Remove seat. Look for missing bolt.
2) Remove tank. Look for missing bolt.
3) Keep taking stuff off. Keep looking for missing bolt.
4) Having pretty much stripped the bike to the frame, observe that the location of the missing bolt is nowhere to be found.
5) Put it all back together. Good time to go to work with the blue Locktite.
6) After completion, observe that I now have TWO loose bolts in my hand.
