    what is this wire connector for?

    what the heck is this wire for? to hook up a trailer/sidecar? I have no idea... do you?

    It is the wire hanging near the bottom of the image.



    Thanks again guys.

      umm why didn't I think of that before. What type of charger/connector does it hook up to? I just got this bike and know very little about it. My Gs550 battery is right behind the sidecover.

        They come with most chargers, its a good thing to have a charger where as these older bikes drain the battery a bit while idling and usualy need to be charged back up to peak power after 6 months to a year depending on riding habits, charging system and age of battery. The connection just makes this task easier....:-D Some guys even charge more often then what I have mentioned.

                Most "Battery Tender" Style Chargers Include the Quick Connector.

                Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.
