May sound like a strange question, but I’m sure lots of you will be able to answer it for me!

Does anybody what the triangular alloy plate with the large hole is for?  It is riveted onto the front of the Airbox and looks like it has been added by a previous owner.  I’m thinking of taking it off but before I do I wondered why it was there. 

many thanks

Mounting bracket for an immobiliser switch ??

It's standard and is there to hold a wiring bundle away from the exhaust

Ah that makes sense, thank you.
