Anyone recognize this part?

[Dochatley]

I was walking into the garage today and saw this ( looks like a spring clip) on the floor. I have had the RT apart adding things but do not remember seeing anything like this. Not sure if it is from the Spyder or not. Thought I would ask if any of you might know if it is or is not a part off my RT since I am fairly new to this machine.
Thanks,
Jerry

Mirror retaining clip

That looks like one of the retaining clips off of the inside of the mirror.

That's what I thought but the ones on the mirror are thicker looking.

that's what i thought, but it's too clean

can we get another picture of it turned??

 

[Dochatley]

I'm out of town now but will get another pic when I get home. And no, not a rectal probe. That is much larger

Give us an idea of the size of this piece please.

 

[Dochatley]

I will with next pic. It's a small spring clip about 1 1/2 inches long. Thanks for looking. I will try to get better pics and dimensions when I get home.

looks like a bulb retainer

 

[trikermutha]

I believe the bulb turns and locks in no clips like the other bikes out there..

 

[trikermutha]

what parts of the bike were removed??

 

[Dochatley]

I had both sides from front to back off. Had rear plastic off to get to lights, headlights out to add led bulbs (and yes, they do twist in like auto lights the have plastic cover that snaps over) no retaining clip. Frunk stayed on, added sway bar, fenders off for LED lights added, Lamonster highway pegs added. Like I say, I don't remember seeing the part when taking it apart. I have no idea where it could have come from. Totally Stumped. Had nothing else out working on it.

extra parts :thumbup:

 

[Dochatley]

I appreciate everyone that looked. I guess it's not something important on the RT or someone would have recognized it. Now I have to figure out where it could have come from. :dontknow:

what year model RTS do you have?

You did a lot of work on your Spyder all at the same time.
Could that clip be part of the packaging for one of your parts ? Some kind of spring clip that kept a part mounted to the shipping container ?
