White Plastic Ring, R# Touring Front Fork:

Will Lucey said:

Pulled my '08 Rocket III Touring out of the garage.
Noticed a white plastic ring around the lower leg, above the fender.
Ring is about a 1/4" top to bottom, thin and fragile, bigger dia than the fork tube, smaller than the upper fork tube cover.
The ring obviously fell down from within the upper tube cover.
Nothing seems to be functionally affected.
No leaks, nothing.
Can anyone tell me what this ring is, and it's importance????

Don't glue it in. The dust seal will press in by hand quite easily. Do you have any kids that would have picked it out? They take a little work to get loose and up. I would be more inclined to think that it is some spacer from the shroud around the inner tube; up by the wind screen. Shine a light up the other side shroud and see whats there, and compare to the side you found the ring on.
