I was thinking it might be the rubber flap that sits just in front of the rear shock. But I just measured the one on mine and the dimensions are larger than that :shock:

Does it have any mounting holes?
Are you quite sure it wasn't just laying on the floor before you started?

It was..or wasn't

Hi Dicky

It could have been laying there before...but I sweep the floor regularly, so I am pretty sure...it came from the TRX.....
There are no marks on it, as I thought it may have come from the rear brake....

I don't see anything that fits your description, so unless it fell out of the back of the chassis/fairing then I'd be guessing that it's not part of the TRX.

You must be right

Now you're talking.
Get out there and thrash the rings off it. :twisted:
What could possibly go wrong? ;)
