Electrical Questions

On an 81 GS1100E, What are the boxes on either side of the fuse panel, Silver finned one on the right and black one above the starter relay on the left.

What is the black box on the side of the battery box, behind the rear master cylinder?

What is the black box mounted under the tank, (to the frame) above the carbs? Is this one the turn signal relay???

The one with the fins is the R/R. To the left is the turn signal auto-off box. By the battery box is the igniter. Under the tank is the turn signal relay.

Rectifier/regulator, makes AC from the Alternator into DC, then regulates it to 12 volts.
