So I'm removing all the parts of the bike in order to install the Akro slip ons. After I get everything off I see this piece lying on my stand. Its a very small rubber donut grommet with some lithium grease on it. Its MAYBE half a centimeter in diameter.

Think I found it. Looks like from one of the fairings on the side of the gas tank. There's a little nipple in between the velcro. The left side has a rubber grommet on it but the right side has a nipple without a rubber grommet and the nipple had lithium grease on it. I'm assuming that probably where it goes.
 
Yeah, they always pop off when removing the fairings. If it’s the really small one it fits in a groove cut into the gas tank. There’s also a larger one which fits onto a metal stud on the frame. That one is normally fit into a hole in the fairing.
 
Shoot. I put back together my bike after doing the slip ons. This bolt was in the group of exhaust parts. I went through all the instructions to determine where this came from and I am at a loss. As you can tell it a bit dirty. My bikes are usually 9.5/10 for cleanliness so this tells me it's from down near the bottom. I'm going through everything and am stumped. Any of you gurus have an idea? Much appreciated. Thx. I gotta start using a camera step by step what I'm doing

The only frame bolts I had to take off was the 4 for the sub frame. Driving me nuts! Lol
 
These are called bonus parts. Each time you work on the bike and find a bonus part it goes into a drawer. I have drawers of these for my car and bikes.
 
As I tell my team at work: eventually the machine will show you where that part is supposed to be.
 
Check the parts catalog and comb through the diagrams. That's your only hope outside of the forum gods.
