My lower triple on the right side has a hole in it I believe where the screw to stop the turning would go is this dangerous any feedback I believe this was there I just never noticed it maybe when I was locking steering wheel forced it to hard? Don't know how this happened or how long it's been any feedback please steering lock still works have to look in the daytime but don't see any cracking... if I'm washing bike and water goes into there any damage?

sorry I'm not a native English speaker.
what means "dangerous any feedback"? sounds not good.
"don't see any cracking"?
 
I agree with Paul, swap it out ASAP. You might not see a crack start, but that ragged hole is a massive stress concentrator. See if @SirJAG has one, he's been parting out his 1199 that had an engine fail.
