Had the outer primary off my wife's 09 FLHX (along with the compensator, chain, tensioner and clutch assy) to install a SE compensator.  I did not have the inner primary off (ground the case to get the rotor off).  Was pouring the MTL back in the primary and found this laying in the bottom of the drain pan.

It is about the diameter of a penney with a lip (shoulder) on one side and a 5/16" or 3/8" hole.  It had to fall in the oil when I was removing the clutch, etc..

Thanks in advance for your help/guidance.

Side view.

Perhaps the clutch release bearing.

Thanks Jerrry but her's is a cable clutch.  I took the snapring out of the clutch hub, then pulled the short threaded rod out with the adjuster nut and a 1 1/4"  threaded washer with 2 tabs to remove the clutch hub nut.   Manual said nothing about anything falling out when removing the clutch hub assy..

Keep ideas coming please.

shift linkage bushing?

I had just realized you said FLHX not FLHXSE.  Sorry for the bum info.  Here's an exploded view for a cable clutch if you need it.

If it helps, here are a couple of pictures of the guts of mine...

Now that I think about it - I think it spaces out the primary chain tensioner.  If you would like...I could go out and look in the parts book.  Let me know...

Scott, I didn't have the shifter off.  Thanks, Bob

Would it go behind the front end of the tensioner (front bolt) Between tensioner and inner primary?  Don't see a tensioner spacer shown in parts or service manuals.  If you think that is it, please verify if you can.  Thanks.

Jerry-I removed the #19 snapring, then removed items 15, 5, 2 as one piece in order to gain access to remove the 1 3/16" nut.

7  is a push rod bearing and it takes 2 of a #8 thrushbearing but I think they are over at the tranny side.

I just looked at the parts manual, and the tensioner assembly is not shown??  I don't think I've ever looked int he parts manual and not found the part I was looking for...maybe an oversight in the manual.

But I'm pretty sure that's where it is from.  It's a hardened bushing, right?

Maybe Jerry has an exploded view of the tensioner assembly.

Yes...but I could be nuts too...  I wish I could find a photo...  But I'm (reasonably) sure that's it...     Did you only find one?

Goes behind the Chain tensioner. It is a spacer. I had one fall off one on me once. About made me pull my hair out trying to figure out where it came from.
