Default What Is This From?

I took my 06 Road Glide apart to install the Fat Baggers wide tire kit. I didn't have all the tools needed to complete the job, plus FBI sent the wrong color engine spacers. I decided to put the bike back together in the original configuration.
I have a circlip left over that I can't figure out where it came from.
I don’t think it goes to the front wheel, which I replaced.
I took the primary inner case off and removed the starter.
I had the lid off the Baker DD6 tranny and removed the roller drum and the shift forks.
I had the tranny clutch ramp cover off but wasn’t able to remove the main and counter shaft with the bearing support plate. I couldn't do this because I didn't have the tools to remove the final drive pulley.
I had the rear wheel off and the swing arm off. I have the rear wheel axel circlip on the axel now.

Here is a picture of the clip with a ruler for reference.

Ok, disregard. It was the axel circlip. I thought it was on the axel, but I took it back off to adjust the rear wheel after I closed the tranny up last night and laid it on the floor. Somehow, it got moved over to the primary side of the bike where I found it.
Sorry for the unneccesary efforts guys.
