Is this too dangerous?

Here's an idea:

Put the bike exactly where it was when your brother pulled the cap off, then undo the other one and see where it goes, you should find two there! At least it'll narrow the search area.

This was the first thing I tried, no such luck   I spent a little over 2.5 hours tearing up the garage looking for it...it's in there somewhere, just have no clue where.  

I might've already read this part and forgot, but why aren't you just picking the part up and screwing it back in yourself? Replacing the fork springs is one fo the first mods a lot of new guys here. You can follow the 2nd half of the instructions in the wiki and be on your way in half an hour. While they're open you might as well pull open the other side and just replace all the oil in the forks too.

The part's missing, I ordered a new one.

But after the new part comes in, it sounds like without a truck it would be a lot easier for you just to go to the dealership, pick up the part, and come home and fix it, rather then trying to get the bike to the dealership. It sounds to me like you're trying to rip out the kitchen sink just so you can carry it over to fill your cup, you know?
