That looks like a holder for a driver's back rest.

It’s some sort of switch with a wire going to it. Maybe for the passenger intercom?

That could be. My '82 was a standard and did not have that.

Something aftermarket. What happens when you push it?

That is the original talkbutton for the passenger, to activate and talk over the CB radio.

Bracket for a backrest???
Evidence of one on the other side?

Agree. It was an option.

I be got about 500 miles on the bike and hardly anymore clutch squealing with the 10-40 oil. I’ll try the 15-40 Rotella next oil change.
