Identifying some bits on my bike
#1
While installing my O2 sensor eliminator I noticed a set of wires hanging down on the outside of the bike, covered with a plastic plug, for attaching something. I traced as far back and up as I could and it appeared to be headed for the battery.

Is this stock or something the original owner installed? I'm guessing it is either for a battery charger or else some sort of diagnostic plug:

Also, headed toward the back brakes is a thin flexible black plastic tube. I find it hard to believe this is the hydraulic brake tube.

That connector is owner added for a battery tender or power tap for heated clothes or phone charging etc.

That black tube you are holding is the speed sensor wiring.

Yep battery tender , mine had one and it is a good thing as I now alternate between bikes with the sane charger.

I know I shouldn't do this; but ... you'll find an insane charger much more entertaining.
