Switchback question

Hey guys, I just picked up a 2013 Switchback yesterday. So far I love it. I have a stupid question, some pictures of the bike show a small cover under the battery box cover. My bike dosen't have it. Any ideas what it is? Looks like it would hide the starter, maybe.

Thanks.

ABS saved me from going down while I locked brakes up. Fool cut me off going 65 in bumper to bumper traffic then slams on his brakes. He wasn't paying attenation, I was but could not swerve around. ABS kept me from going down, maybe saved my life.

Yep, ABS cover. This is the first time I've used ABS on a bike. The front and rear ABS I believe work independently on the FLD. Not like some that are linked together.
I've had to come to quick, high speed - about 50mph, emergency straight stop a couple times. Just held her straight and applied constant pressure on both controls and she stopped straight and steady, real nice. Pretty good stopping distance too.
