Yikes Guys!

While working on (installing) an upper belt guard on my 2008 S40, I noticed what looked kinda like an open battery box beneath the frame.  Of course I realize the battery is located above near the carb.  I wonder what this structure could be?

I am thinking I may use it to mount a center stand if I ever get around to it

I’ve used it to mount lithium batteries there on two separate savages. Perfect spot if you like that “open” look.

I had a S83 some years ago, and I think the battery was mounted down there.

It's for mounting the california carbon cannister.
EPA mandated BS.

HD's have a round thermos looking thing on the side of the bike near the same location... so count your lucky stars suzuki was able to hide it away.

Doesn’t it help support stock exhaust too ?

They all have the bracket, (calif has the emissions attached to it as well) and yes it supports the exhaust.
