Default What goes there?

I pulled the left side over off,my 2012 Street Glide to take over to my painter so he could see the paint for my inner fairing paint job, anyway while off I see a large square box on the left side under that cover, looks like it would hold a small dirtbike battery...what's that box for? Maybe for another model?
Looks like a good place for a power fused box for running heated gear or LED lights etc....just wondering.....never noticed this on other models....

...and it you don't have the alarm siren, but have security, check the radio shack $6 siren many of us use- just do a search for it.

Asked this same question on another forum, You donot have ABS do you? That box holds the ABS system.

Still trying to figure out what I can use this space for!

Got a picture? From your description it could be the fuse block or it could be the siren module for the security system if it is installed. The siren module is about 2 1/2 x 3 1/2", the fuse block is about 5 x 7.
