headlight installed-I did it!!!

and it works ......BUT....... after i finished i saw on the floor a 1" long and about 3/4 dia rubber thingie.
it is slit down the middle like it would  slide over something.
on the piece itself is the number T23714.
it looks like and is about the size of a wooden spool that your wifes thread comes on.
any idea what this critter my be?
can't imagine it being to terribly important but would like to know what it is and
where it goes.
thanks to all the help you gave and shoptalk.

I guess its a cable clip?

it does appear to be some kind of rubber covering to go around something.
tomorrow i'll check the other side and see if i can see anything like it.
i need to learn how to post pictures, it sure would help wouldn't it.

Never the wife help with repairs. They will do them type of things... Drop stuff on the floor and leave...

In a side note. I have no clue what that is you found...

It sounds like the grommet that is in the hole on the back of the headlight shell that the wires run through. It is there to keep the wires from rubbing on the metal shell.

[Oyeaa]

I am thinking that it goes on the wiring harness as already stated.  Here are a couple of pictures that may help.

Sounds to me like the rubber cover behind the bulb.

fast black

I would think that's the grommet that holds the brake line at the fender mounting area.

i'm off to the gargage now to see where it goes.
thanks for the pics.
just hope i can find where it goes with out having to take
the faring off.

you guys are good, it is like the one holding the brake line at the fender but that one is there.
it's from behind the faring cover somewhere and i can't find it without taking it apart.
it's a non critical part, at least until the wires get rubbed through.
when i have more time, like this winter, i will take the faring cover off and see what i can see.
so for  now, i'm outta here for a little ride.
thanks and happy fathers day.
