Was installing the rear wheel on my 2020 Fat Bob yesterday and this screw fell to the floor while reinstalling my exhaust. Definitely is not a screw I have ever removed from the bike before. Appears to have fallen from right side of bike, around passenger peg area. Can't seem to find where it came from. Bike is completely stock except for some V&H exhaust tips
Looks like one of the small countersunk heat shield/passenger peg bracket screws. Check the right side exhaust shield and peg mount area first. Either that or one fell out of your wrist while working on it 😄
I can't think of a spot for a counter sunk screw. Actually has me thinking this fell out of an accessory like a phone mount and ended up lost in the chassis until you start working the exhaust and freed the bolt from hiding. Wouldn't worry much.
