Might help if you took a picture (and posted it) with it beside a ruler (or something simila) so approximate size could be determined. :nixweiss:

As d00d said, a photo would be helpful.  It is possibly the black cap for the clutch bleeder screw?

Except he said the bike had a carburetor.  So probably not something with a hydraulic clutch unless he's confusing carb fot TB.  Brake bleeder cover?  Its all WAG'ing without a picture.

Looking at his other (interesting) posts, it's either an '06 fat Boy or more likely a '13 road king

The jiffy stand bumper is a real good thought.  Not really a plug but when it breaks off at the stem it certainly could be confused as a plug.
