Default Mystery bracket while replacing the battery
When replacing the battery on my 2013 Ultra limited a 2 1/2" bracket fell to the floor when I was lifting out the battery from the tray. I've been looking everywhere in the battery area but can't for the life of me figure out were it came from /fits?? Any suggestions /Mystery bracket while replacing the battery-bracket.jpg

Welcome to the forums. Possible exhaust bracket. Bolts below the clutch release cover.

Looks an aweful lot like a bracket that is meant to hold the battery in place, looks like the one on my Road King.

My money says that's a bracket from a rider backrest, did you buy the scoot used? If so, the previous owner most likely had a backrest and took it with them

Here's the mounting kit, with the bracket

Save that bracket. Now you purchase a backrest mount that is for a 2008 or earlier and have the extra bracket you need to make it work on a 2009 and newer.
