YA true dat but is it the metric or imperial version ?Rheebasorber. Absorbs excess rheebs and keeps them from straying throughout the electrical system. Needs to be emptied occasionally.
12 volt power socket. Appears to be unswitched so be careful removing it (which I would).

...or using it at least until you know if it's fused and for how much.so be especially careful removing it.
+1. Probably find the other end connected to the battery posts. Disconnect it there and trash it.12 volt power socket. Appears to be unswitched so be careful removing it (which I would).

Powerlet power socket. I have the same thing in my trunk which the previous owner installed. I would recommend finding the other end and checking for a fuse. If it's fused, use it. If not add a fuse of the appropriate size and use it.
+1 That's not powerlet socket. At best it's a cheap imitation. There's no locking mechanism that secures a powerlet plug. A cheap 12V socketJohn OoSTerhuis said:This is not a quality Powerlet product IMO, a cheap auto parts store cig lighter socket.
+1 The only reason to reverse the polarity is to keep all the electrons on the correct side when connecting to another bike. An odd bit of kit because it's only useful of somebody had a jumper cable with a 12V plug on at least one end. A 12V plug connected to a pair of clamps would work to but then you'd have to make sure they were connected correctly.T_C said:The polarity is reversed because the other side is left on the battery. This was carried to hook up to a battery tender pigtail, and that should already come with a fuse inline, so no need for a fuse on this part.
Okay.. bit I was just more thinking that they would plug in an accessory that is live with the bike switched off. Like a USB adapter or compressor. Maybe under the seat for a generic automotive style seat heating pad. Never really thought of being bike to bike or bike to car.
