what is this part for (2017 slim)
this fell out when i removed by rear fender bolts. i assume it is some type of brace, but i really cant see any need for it. it looks like it will trap dirt and cause rattles, anyone know what it is actually for and if it really needs to be there? i put it back since i didnt know. thanks

thanks for the welcome. i thought license bracket at first, but the slim uses a side mount licence plate

Even though the Slim may come with a side mount, it is likely included because it is a stock FLS part and may be used if someone wants or needs to convert to a rear mount.

That makes sense, but not "HD sense". HD is known for purposely not giving you all the parts so in order to make the modification you would need to buy the extra parts. I agree with you, it just isn't their usual practice.

From Ronnie's Parts Finder, it is HD part number 69200356. The description is "BRACKET ASSEMBLY, LICENSE PLATE SUPPORT".
A rose by any other name... The fact is it supports something and would be best to keep it in place.
