What is this space for in front of the battery?

I just removed my fuel tank because I was replacing handlebars and needed to pass the heated grips cables. I noted that there is a large space in front of the battery the size of it as big as two batteries?/ What is that space for? I see there are some holes for screws so guess for securing something??? Anyone knows?

Thanks for clarifying this to me. Makes sense as I heard that stuff is pretty heavy.

The Integral ABS 1 servo module weighs about 10lb.
