    Right side of Fairing glove box?

    What is with the right side cover, not made for use? Was it a wasted opportunity ? Does the cover pop off easily, and was wondering how others put this area to good use.

    Thanks

    It is easy to take off; but you have to remove the right side trim first; depending on the year/model of your F6B.. you may find the cruise control bracket under it. Takes up most of the space under it.

    I mounted my ambient light sensor for my Headlight Modulators on it (the cover itself). I also have the handgrip heater controls installed on the cover as well.

    For me personally while riding; the right handlebar and control housing obscures most of the right side cubbyhole area for any other instrumentation that could be installed upon it.

    I want to install a headlight modulator, any suggestions on the best one out there. I like your location of the photocell on the right fake storage lid.

    Thanks

    I primarily like Kisan Modulators because they are plug and play; and I've never had one fail on me (use them on all motorcycles; past and present).

    I've also once used a Signal Dynamics modulator; but I had to splice into the headlight wiring for that particular unit. Looks like they are now manufacturing plug and play units as well:

    And the cruise control unit lives under there on the 2015 models.

    Perfect spot for a voltmeter. Lot's of space under there if you don't have cruise.
    2013 F6B in black of course

    I think he's asking about this area though. This area is also where the cruise control bracket and module is mounted under:

    good spot

    under the seat there is a six connector aux fuse box for individual fuses for left cig lighter, right cig lighter, seat heater, cruise control, the 115 LEDS used in the reflector replacements, and the dual cig lighter outlets in the right saddle bag

    I see, I might want to add cruise, and wasn't thinking it would require that kind of space. I have a tendonitis issue going on in my right forearm.
