Today while I was cleaning up my bike, or should I say just wiping the bugs, grease and grime off of it I came across this thing that looks like a rubber gasket. It was laying on top of my right rear hard bag, between the bag and the bike. I have no idea where it came from, took off the seats and looked around and I am clueless.

Anybody know what it is ?

Also when wiping the old girl down I noted a black grease like material at the top of the front wheel left fork tube. Whipped it off and the front suspension seems to rebound OK and I had no oil leakage. The top of the other tube was clean as a whistle, leading me to believe I may have a fork seal replacement in my future. Just a couple quick questions, cost of fork seal replacement, can or should I be riding with it as is ?

Appreciate any and all serious replies.

 
Look at the under side of the luggage rack/grab handle right above where the rubber thingie landed.

dat's where it goes.

Might be a leaking fork seal.... Good luck.
