Default Where does this part go?!

I feel a little silly about having to ask this ...

I took the tanks off my machine (97 Heritage) and now I’m putting them back on I have a part I’m not sure exactly where it goes.

please see the attached picture.

Not sure what that is but I'm sure my '95 doesn't have one.
If it's an OEM part it should have the HD emblem and a part number on it.

Doesn’t look like anything that would be stock on a Harley. Nonetheless, look through here to see if you can find it.

That part looks to be galvanized. I have never seen that material used on a harley. I think you might have gotten a part from something else mixed in with your take offs on the bench.

Oh my. I haven't seen one of those in a long time. It's a GRS. After you knock out the gremlin with your bell, you keep it in in this container until you can find an approved disposal service. Yup, it's a Gremlin Retention System.

I think it has something to do with the turbo charger...

Was a similar quiz on here a few months ago - someone immediately spotted it as a part of an outboard engine (which it was)... So, look around your garage and see what other equipment is in there, you'll figure it out.
