Not sure about the DB's, but it's a horn.

i relocated mine under the oil bucket on the right side of the bike.this will only work on 6speed models though.there is even a threaded hole to mount it too requires making a bracket which is 3" long with a hole at each end
heres a pic of the threaded hole with a bolt i found to fit with horn wiring just before i mounted it

2nd pic is relocation complete..unless i point it out no one even notices it

3rd pic the reason i relocated the horn
