whats this ?

Ok so every winter I pull all the plastics off my bike to clean everything, do maint. and check the bike out.
I am waxing the front fairing and have always wondered what the small cavity under the black plastic plug is for ?
Its located directly below the headlight. ? Is there any reason for this ?
Thanks for your input

 

IIRC, on some of the the European model VFR's (and some other countries) there is a position light that fits up through the bottom of the headlight and sits between the two defectors at the bottom. The black plastic cover is there to access that light and change the bulb. The North American models are not equipped with this particular light but the upper cowl is the same for all areas.

 

makes sense I can see where that light would be in the headlight housing................... might be a good place for a spare key holder........... I mean ........ nothing

 

Wait is this what your talkin about?
Spare key, maybe not
I asked about this about 5 years ago seeing if maybe it was a European option for more lights

It is indeed a European marker light, that obviously isn't used in Murica. I remember asking this question many lifetimes ago in that other site...

 

Murica, never heard that
Would like ta get a set

I wonder if someone knows what that light looks like installed ?

 

Looks like chit.

Is why we never had it in N.America, the govt's did not force us to take it.... ???
