Default What in the hell is this??!!!!

I found this on the floor. I’m not even sure it came off the bike and I don’t recall ever seeing this before. Can anyone identify this?



Working on my 2004 Road King EFI.

Found this on the floor.

It’s not a bike part. Looks like 1/2 of a spring clip.

BTW, your palm says you are going to have a long, healthy, happy, prosperous like.

Could have been planted to mess with your head. Have you pissed the wife/GF off lately?

Cable guide of some sort. That's all I have.
