    Default Do you know what this is?

    Spyder part 1.jpgSpyder part 2.jpg
    During the install of the factory fog light kit on my 2014 RT standard, I found this laying under the trike. I had to take the frunk off during this install and I probably knocked this off somewhere - but where? I have studied parts diagrams and cannot find this part anywhere. It looks like some kind of breather fitting. There is a blue filter in one end. The other end has a little one way flapper valve. Any ideas?

    I saw these on the edges of the headlight assemblies, I do not know if they are also on the fog lights as well.

    Thank you. I must have been bumbling around in there and knocked it loose. There were a lot of pieces off the bike and the frunk disassembly was a chore. I will look in there next time I am "garaging".

    I think in a much-previous post , someone also stated that if you expect to keep
    your lenses fog free, these need to be in place.
