Hook it up without it and see what don't work.

Somebody might have wired the light bar to work off this terminal, but that's not a good idea...The light bar should go off with the ignition, just like everything else.

Also have an extra cable that I'm 95% sure goes on the positive terminal (due to markings on that lead's connector that correspond to the 'u' shaped clip thingie.
Thing is, the manual I have for the bike says to connect the (-) snap connector. I'm not sure if this is that snap connector. (?)
Only mod on the mod is a lightbar (which I didn't think of when I was with the bike earlier today). Could this be the lead for that?
Do any other 1999 Drifters have an extra cable like this? What's it for? Would it be safe to attach the leads to the battery without this connector and start the bike up to see if it still works?
