That would be your hydraulics for when you want to get your gangster lean on.
No seriously, not a clue. I've never noticed that on a pointy before. Some sort of lighting modification maybe?

Looks like a fog light switch.
Previous owner could have installed lower mounted 'bullet' lights |

Re: New to Biking
Just traced the wire as suggested......looks like heated grips! there is a flat wire going to both sides and disappearing under the grips! I guess a wire going to the grips is not standard???

Re: New to Biking
Worth checking if it is directly connected to battery or via ignition as it may be the cause of your battery schenanigens!
