Default Help - Extra Washer after bar swap

Hey guys. I know this is a long shot, but here it goes. I have an extra 5/8" OD flat washer that I THINK came from the bike. I swapped the stock bars on my 2009 FXDF with Big Al's 8" risers and bars. I also swapped the clutch cable, brake lines and throttle cables. I am racking my brain and can't think of where it came from (if it came from the bike). Am I overthinking things? I'll be honest, this may have been stuck on my magnetic tray from before the swap project. Thanks in advance.

Look at an online parts fiche under the sections that you changed. It will show the parts breakdown. Look for your washer in question

Thanks Dawg. I did that earlier but it makes sense to give it a second go .

Put in in the mop bucket in the corner that all the extra nuts, bolts washers and clips go in. One day it will be so heavy a wheel will fall off. Then after digging through all the stuff in the bucket, use it in the repair.

Is it one of the washers for the ground wire?

HAHA. I thought that it might have come from there. I was actually surprised to find out that this bike was supposed to have a ground wire (the washer/etc. was on there when I removed the original bars but no wire). The diameter is too small for the riser bolt. I have been going over it for two days now and can't see to locate where it would go. So I am taking your advise. Thanks Ed!
