In any event, I figured out what it was for. I traced the wires back. They turn on the aftermarket running lights installed in between the saddlebag guards. I have no idea why it's taken me 6 years to figure that out!
Actually, all I could think of was the old Daffy Duck/Elmer Fudd cartoon from the early sixties where Daffy sells Elmer all kinds of "modern" conveniences for his house (automatic vacuum, etc., etc.), but he warns Elmer never to touch the "red button" on the control panel. So to this day, I can't help but use the expression "Not the WED button", whenever I'm warned not to do something. Sadly, this button isn't red.

Thanks for all the help!

Nice, Good to hear it was not the self destruct button.
6 years eh?
You have way to much patience. LOL
I can tell you this right now...
If I ever sell the RGU I'm on now...
I'm going to install a small button or switch in an out of the way location and run a wire in each direction, ALLLLLLLL THE WAY AROUND THE BIKE...
of course it'll really be only one wire, running to itself.

OMG! This is one of the funniest thread's I've read. Although the garage door opener is a damn good idea. I was hoping that was it, because I'd like to know how they did it.
