the rubber plug in it looks like it has never been used and I was tempted to make it a blinker indicator because i have been spoilt with modern auto blinkers and keep leaving them on!

Wait. Doesn't the cluster have a signal flasher in them?

i'm assuming  the same headlight can was used on other CB's where the indicator light was meant to go.
not needed on the 350Fs as the indicator is on the tree, so Honda plugged it.
you can wire in a switch for hazard lights there.
you could also wire in a mini LED and cover it with a cool gem.
tell everyone its your power crystal  ;D

The CB350K has no console between the gauges. It has a yellow and green light in the Tach and a red one in the top of the Headlamp.
