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.

Perfect spot for a voltmeter. Lot's of space under there if you don't have cruise.

for the handgrip heater control, seat heater control, electric vest plug and switch, and electric sox plug and switch

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I think maybe the OP was asking what that cover and area was originally made for...
That spot was for a lockable glove box, similar to our center cubby now, on 2001-2012 Goldwings. The older Goldwings had two gloveboxes, one on each side. When the 2012s and new body style came out, Honda went to this cover, which matches (pretty close) to the left glovebox cover.
As others have mentioned, it is an ideal place to mount switches, voltmeters, grip heaters, etc. There is ample room behind this cover, except for the top part, where the cruise control unit is mounted, if the bike is so equipped.

Radiator cap is also under there so not much room for large items mounted in that "dummy" lid.
