I've seen this on many Ducatis, but never seen it being put to use.

What's under there? Is it of any use on other models with the same controls?

Can you think of anything to put there?

its my understanding that its for a switch that turns your lights on and off. however, most of us live in areas where it is illegal to operate your bike without your lights on.

you could put in a Garage door opener button.  I've seen some people wire one into their Hi-Beam Flasher switch...

Here's a similar mod...

It would be cool to put a heated grips switch there

Wrong side/switch for that.

Nope. That is where is goes on the late model Ducati.  I installed a euro switch on my S4R and there is a switch there that turns of the headlight and the tail light.

The new PowerCommander V  thats coming out soon for the 696 will give you the ability to toggle between two fuelmap settings.   Doesn't come with a switch though, you gotta be crafty and make it yourself. 

Sounds like it's just begging to get put in there.
