Default What is the little black bag on the fender behind the seat?

There are two light bulbs with wire running into it. What is the purpose of it? I tried searching the forums but couldn't find anything.

Sounds like an IED. Better call the bomb squad.

Lol. I'm serious. I bought the bike used so for all I know it's something that someone else rigged up.

When I first saw the question in the title, I was thinking tool bag. In your case, maybe that ain't so. Pix??

I was thinkin' stash your dope?

Sounds like someone's been screwing around with the tool bag though.

When the bulb lights up, the IED explodes. Don't you watch TV?

LOL!...man, that's interesting. Is that a motorcycle grip the wires and bulb are contained in? The wiring itself looks like the turn signal wiring. Did the previous owner have some other kind of turn signals or such on this bike? It's definitely some homemade deal, and it kind of looks like turn signal stuff. It looks like your stock signals are hooked up...correct?

It's all in the plans man. That's part of what I'm doing right now, along with installing the 351 kit. This just goes to show me how well and properly maintained my bike was by the previous owner.
