So I woke up this morning, went out to the garage, and discovered I'm missing some kind of cap or plate by the rear brake lever. There seems to be some kind of battery with a blinking light exposed. Does anybody know what this is and where I can order a new one?

your actually missing a plate, the cover plate, two screws and 2 rivots. I belive harley calls them the timing cover.

dude go to your harley stealership and buy a timing cover for an 06 or older sportster don't tell them you need it for a buell they will tell you it don't fit. Someone stole mine and had to buy one it says harley but then again so do my cyclinders

Why get a Harley one when you can get a custom one!?

Well I ordered one. Is it safe to drive this thing around without it for a week?
