Must be some Honda add on part that bolts to that. Or it was used during the assembly process when the frames are attached to an assembly line hanger. It looks as if something was threaded into it at one time.
Sometimes on exhaust manifolds they have little holes on the end. I found out those are used to hang the headers during the plating process.
I have a '14 R model and had a look yesterday - between the two left side foot pegs the frame tube is covered by plastic, can't see any brackets.
You wrote it's "under the tail", then "between the left side pegs" - where is it exactly?
Can't really tell by the picture.
Maybe it's for something that goes in from the top?

I had mine on my brand spanking new centerstand :grin:, you can spot it by looking over the rear tire.
It is a nut welded to a tab and is positioned so that the bolt screws in from the bottom up.
I think I found the answer.
Since you have the non-ABS model, I believe that this box on mine houses the ABS brain.
It also keeps the shock cleaner!
(And the bolt does go in from the top!)
Since they don't have paint inside the threads<. I'm thinking this something to do with some type hanger for painting.
