OK, You got me. I didn't know there is a turn signal buzzer. All I can find on my 78 GS1000E is the turn signal relay and that is the only noise I hear also. Maybe 34 years in power plants has tuned that range out for me. Can you tell me where the buzzer is supposed to be? I see it on the schematic but thats all I find in the manual. My guess is mine was never installed. As for the chrome thing you are trying to identify, ?. Maybe that was left off mine at the factory and two installed on yours? Seriously, sounds like a previous owner installed accessory, no longer in service.

The thing you describe sounds like something a PO put on so no telling. As for the switch, just take the old one apart and look at it. It's pretty straight forward. Just watch for flying springs as you open it up

signal buzzer

the signal buzzer is just under the fuel tank were it bolts to the rear just under there to the right of the bike, its a small round metal thing with 2 wires attached and bolts to the underside of the frame
