Torx sheet metal screw....

Have you got an ATV or snowmobile (if you live in the south, no sled I'm sure!!)? Those types of screws are common on them.

I don't think it's off your bike, most screws I've seen on my bike do not resemble anything like your pic. I wouldn't sweat it.

Most likely from a broken catalyzer.

Check the screws that attach the saddlebag hinges to the bags & lids.

My guess is it's from the bracket, bolted to the frame, that a similar brake light switch to this part mounts to. Lower right in front of rear wheel. (Follow brake line back from rear master cylinder) Also a similar one on the ring clamp that attaches the rear rubber flex brake hose to the frame on the rear caliper.

Screw

I'm pretty certain that there's supposed to be a loose screw that goes between the handle bars and the seat. I've been told there's one on my bike.

I would check the tires. You may have pinched this screw in a thread and taken it into the garage.
The chrome decor under the passenger foot board is held by two of these screws (on mine). The tip of the screw is not used in this case.

Check inside the fairing. Speakers maybe if you have them? Maybe too big for that. I dunno.

Are you sure someone (i.e. OL or riding bud) isn't messing w/you? They could be watching your endless effort(s) to find the place for this unnecessary screw...??
