There is supposed to be a bolt thru there that fixes a safety strap from mid around steering tube. That housing fills with water.

I am anything but bored. I will however take you up on that ride thing once weather breaks. Hope you're doing well.

Appreciate the kind words. I remember being that guy learning even though it was an awfully long time ago.

If you do not have or can get a strap (#14 above) but like to stop the water and exhaust you can just put a 3/8" bolt with lock nut.
That strap was used for mostly rubber mount motors or some O/S models.
