I think I'll put a dummy switch there and wait for the right moment ....... guy comes up to me and asks; what is it good for?

Put a switch to a fart machine with a time delay.  When someone asks, push it, then wait about 5 seconds, then hear a faint fart, and give them a dirty look.

On my old ST3 the empty slot was a switch for emergency flashers.

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.

Is the stock harness wired for the light switch on the side?

The left switch sure, but the right switch also?

Yes, the wires are there but not used.  You just plug the new switch into the factory harness.

Huh. On my '01 the switch is designed to be on the left side.

The stock US switchgear even has an obvious jumper wire on the connector.

Hey!  Does that switch that goes there have it's own part number?  Anyone know what years and models it was on?

They changed on the later models.  My 2004 uses this setup.
