Default Strange Sensor

What is this sensor I found under the front of the frame?

It has three whiteprongs sticking out of it.

Haven't a clue to what it is as I don't have an 08.
Service manual / electronics manual would help.
Maybe somebody else here will know.

I looked in my 07 service manual and didn't see any sensor that looked like it.

Master Chief:

I could not locate one on my'07 Ultra either; must be an upgrade on the '08's.

By the way, the Master Chiefs are supposed to have all the answers; that's who I always went to when I needed an answer;I always knewwho really ran the Navy.

It`s a connector block-off plug. The white silicone sticking out plugs the connector holes the wires (not installed)run through.
I have no idea what the connector is for, but it could be a plug for the ABS module.
