It's a trigger thingamajig which is like a flashing doodad.
Just pull the trigger thingamajig and the main beam wossname comes on.
Supposed to be used when passing but I used the doodar to flash etc .... that didn't come out right, did it?
Had one on the Scrambler and there's one on the ST.
Most bikes have 'em these days .... just not ours!
