a 1979-81 gs850-1000 tail piece, with a funny an- fitting in the right of it.
gas tank?

Could it be a locking mechanism to remove the tail piece?

It looks like that on the back of Neo's neck from "The Matrix" Does your bike know Kung Fu now?

whats on the other side of it in the trunk? part of a luggage strap devise maybe? i have seen drag bikes long ago with a spitter at the back wheel that spits bleach on the tire to burn out and get the tire stickybefore a run but i havent seen one of those in years~ be careful! it may be a port to the matrix and them it might turn into a ducati moster......

LED lit seat lock?

With retina scanner verification to prevent unauthorized seat removal.

I'm going way out there and saying part of an alarm. LED strobes and a small port for a siren in the center. But that's just my imagination making more of it than it is.

Antenna mount for a CB?

BTW, I believe it's a '78 GS1000 tail piece.

Sprinkler system?

I think you may be correct, because of the small lip near the front.

[salty_monk]

Whatever it is it has 5 LEDS in the centre with a small hole right in the middle.

I'd go for a supplemental brake light or an alarm.

It's definitely a 1000 tail piece.
