Default Name that part

Is this a Harly part or some chunk of road debris that got caught? Finally found the source of my knock/rattle. This was wedged between the side of the trans and frame.

Looks like part of a cam follower bearing
Not sure if its part of the bike.

Road debris. If it were anything off your bike it wouldn't be running and hunks of metal would be missing for it to have fallen out of anywhere.
