Default What is this cable and button???

Hey guys.. I just bought an '02 cbr954 a few days ago. i'm looking over the bike with one of my boys that had one a few years back and noticed a cable coming from under the gas tank (not sure where its actually coming from) with some type of plastic adapter attached to the end with a button on the top. Has anyone seen this before... Sorry if i didnt put this in the right section.

Its not stock that's for sure. Is it a secure and solid mount? The pictures are kind of dark and its hard to tell much more about it. I was thinking maybe a camera mount. Trace with cable and see if it attached to the battery or something else.

Sounds to me like it is for a speedo healer or a programmable black box. Or it could be for those cool led lights everyone likes...
