Been a week and I'm still finding stuff... 1 Year, 7 Months ago  
I picked up my Roadie a week ago on Wednesday (June 29th) and every time I go to do something or take care of something, I find something else...


So, far my '06 Road* came with Cobra Dragsters, a K&N filter in a stock air box with a Show Chrome Eagle cover. There is a tail light/ turn signal modulator that flashes the tail lights and rear signal lights twice then steady and then three times before going off. (If anyone knows what brand this is I would appreciate knowing...) I think it may be a Kuryakyn triple whammy.


The last owner also, installed a pair of Kuryakyn chrome speakers, as a matter of fact, the last owner went a little wild with Kuryakyn aftermarket chrome, including chrome ISO grips with mechanical cruise assist, Mustache road bar, ISO shift lever and brake lever cover and floorboard covers... Oh yeah, and a LOT of frame chrome too...


So today, I'm getting ready to install some parade lights and I pull the fuse cover and find a black box wire tied to the fuse block...
The only mark on it reads "Rev. 2". there's a huge red wire from the positive terminal of the battery and a red and black wire coming out of the box.


Does anyone have an idea about what it may be? Here's a picture.

Can you see where the black and red wires go to?

I would think is just another fuse box and the rev b is just a revision of the box

From that picture it looks sealed to me.
It's a touch big, but is there a USB port on the bike..?

Are there any other markings on it?
How about if you cut the tie and look?

Does the bike have flashers or extra lights?

Pretty sure it is part of the noise cancellation for your Kuryakyn speakers.

I would follow where that red wire comes out of the box goes. That's not the triple whammy for sure.

It's a sealed box alright

The red and black wires go under the tank to the front. They're pretty heavy duty too.

I will probably pull the tank next week and see where the wires lead.

I thought that it might be something to increase the rev limit.
