Welcome, Ar1100s

I guess it's something for the rider to impact during a crash, if his aim is that good.

If you mean that the plastic rocker switches are stuck and undefined, they may be blanks that are not connected to anything. Besides holding the ignition switch my Brick's pad has a rocker switch for emergency flashers; the other three are blanks that I can pry right out when I'm ready to install a switch that actually does something. Usually, these openings are used for a heated grip switch, four-way flashers,driving lights and who-knows-what-all. Some riders have wired-in a switch to operate the radiator fan independently of the temperature sensor.

I've got four on my K75RT. ABS, heated grips, hazard flashers, and my windshield adjustment button.
