OK, Fred, I just realized what the problem is. I have also installed
progressive fork springs, and after finally getting the bike off the
jack, I realized that the forks are not aligned properly. I just
didn't look at the problem long enough before posting. Thanks for your
input! I'll update after I've corrected that issue.....

Until a less $hitty photo surfaces, my money's on the doohickey, the
part that fits on the shaft.
To the OP: When you stated that it was replaced, did you use an OEM one?

What do you think it is? I've got my OEM doohickey here in front of me
and I think what's sticking out of the drain hole is the piece that
seats on the shaft. That part is fairly thick and is beveled for about
3/4 of its thickness. I think I can see that detail in the photo at
the bottom portion of the broken part. Look along the jagged edge.

Make sure you are looking at the largest downloadable version of the
picture on the original site.
I just found my original doo and took this:

The left is the one in question. The right is my old but not broken
doo. It is pretty obvious to me.
