Did you buy your bike used or brand new?

It's an inline fuse holder for something that was added to the bike. Trace the wires and see what they lead to and find out what was added to the bike.

Not to argue, but that is NOT a tender lead. It MIGHT be part of the harness for it, if it includes an inline fuse - but that IS an inline fuse holder. Trust Me on this- ah've run more'n one or two circuits on bikes an' sech here an' thar....

I have one like that for my Gerbings pigtail off the battery. Trace it, if it's not in use remove it.

It sure looks exactly like the in line fuse holder on a tenders "pig-tail" that stays on the bike......I put one or two of them on.....you can trust me. But then again.....dont just about all the blade type in-line fuse holders look alike?
