Welcome. That black knob is technically known on this board as a 'thingimajig.' It's used to adjust the 'doohicky' when bored at a traffic stop to make folks wonder what you're fiddlin' around with and make them say, 'Hey, I used to own wunna those.'  or 'Triumph? They still make those?'  or 'What kinda Harley Davidson is a Triumph?'
