Buy the HD service manual for your bike;the wiring diagrams show color coded wiring for the circuits; and decide if what you have is OEM or other.

I'm thinking either a remote garage door opener or maybe a proximity sensor for the alarm system??? Does the light blink all the time or only when you're close to the bike? Does it blink at a steady rate or does it vary?

What wires does it hook into in the factory harness?

I am thinking its part of a old security system so Im afraid to remove it in case it would cause the bike not to run
I am guessing it is some kind of mercury switch which might be activated when the bike is either tampered with (moved) or when the bike leans a certain amount.
