Thanks for the reply and the answer. That makes sense. I am missing the half that connects to the brake cable but at least I know its not shorting out anything! I really appreciate the help.

I have a 1982 XS400 DOHC i purchased as a project. Cleaned the carbs and got it running and then one day it just wouldnt start. I am in the process of tracking down all the electrical gremlins this thing has. I found this connection just hanging down under the battery near where all the wires go down under the motor. It looks like it clips to something and has two black wires going to it. I think possibly a ground but not sure. It is a round cap similar to what would go over the terminals on a starter solenoid, has two black wires going to it, and then inside has two copper clips that look like the go around something. I dont see anything hanging under it to connect to. Please help I am pulling my hair out and would really appreciate it.
