I am sure it has a function, just like the air temp gauge just not a good one. Mine came off as soon as the bike was home.

If you cut the strap and leave the brackets on, you can use the brackets as tie down points for bungee cords.

I removed the strap by carefully cutting the rivet off and then left the two mounting brackets on the bike to use for tie down points for my bags when going on trips. It may sound weird but they look fine and are very handy for tie downs.
