Default Help ID-ing this part?

I took off the muffler and heat shields off my Road Glide, which required the right saddlebag and side cover to come off, and while putting everything back I found this - can anyone tell me where it might have come from?

Putting it next to a dime, nickel, quarter for scale may help. Also where exactly did you find it, on the floor etc.?

Stock exhaust? My V&H's duals use a spacer like that in the crossover hanger clamp to prevent over-compresion of the pipe.

It is a little smaller than a dime but a lot thicker. And I am not sure about the exhaust - no markings on it and it had it when I bought the bike. I took the muffler and heat shields off and sent them to Jet-Hot for satin black ceramic coating.

Has there been any work in side the right side side panel area, i.e. ABS Hyd. Control Unit? I'm guessing black paint from the frame and maybe from the side panel area.

No, I just took off the saddlebag, side cover, muffler and heat shields, as well as the floorboard to get access to the forward heat shield. I hate having an extra part!

Perhaps a washer for a muffler clamp...non-factory.

I see the OE 1/4 turn saddlebag fasteners have been replaced with threaded fasteners. Perhaps the PO added a spacer between the bag and rear mount to provide clearance for the Dirty Air reservoir.
