Default Rubber thing under the head light

I lost that rubber gasket thing off the bottom of my headlight going to BBB last year. Damn thing just fell out. Does anyone know the purpose for this thing and do I need to replace it?

Only rubber thing I can think of that goes near the light is the neopreme rubber gasket that goes between the fairing and forks. Is it necessary? Probably not! Does it have a purpose? I would think so. Keeps dirt and water from getting in behind the fairing.

I believe this is what you are referring to 62787-96 Fairing Skirt $4.00 item.

Keeps dirt and water and gunk from coming up from underneath. Mine ripped and replaced it last year. Easy to replace, it's just a stick on gasket.

mine kept wanting to come off so I took it all the way off spread some plastic epoxy on it and put it back on 5 years later and it hasn't moved

It is called Fairing Skirt Seal. Part Number 62787-96.

I have attached a diagram of the outer fairing for a 2013 Street Glide, but it should be the same for batwings in general. I got the diagram from Ronnie's HD.
