First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to my first return post (https://www.vfrdiscussion.com/index.php?/forums/topic/114018-what-to-look-for-before-purchase-2007-rwb-model/).
I was a former owner of a 2007 VFR800 RWB back in 2010, however I ended up selling the bike due to lack of time and lack of use. I always regretted selling this bike. Fast forward 10 years, I started looking to get back into motorcycling and had my eyes set on a 2012 VFR1200F, however the week I was supposed to go out and get it, the seller (after telling me that he'll hold the bike) sold it to someone else, so that fell through unfortunately. I did end up scoring a 2013 FJR1300A in 2021 which has been an amazing bike so far. I also ended up getting a really good deal on a 2021 Africa Twin Adventure Sports back in 2023 which I have also enjoyed riding.
Fast forward... still really missed the VFR and found one about 4 hours away. Went and looked at it and decided to pull the trigger. The bike has some cosmetic defects but mechanically, at least the little bit of riding I did, the bike seems really sound. Thanks for people on this forum, I was able to score an upper cowl to replace the one that has the most blemishes. The bike came with hard cases and one also has a scratch on it but I think I can handle that myself so I might try that.
As far what came with the bike, the previous owner installed a Leo Vince exhaust, Power Commander V and dyno tuned it, along with LED headlights and turn signals, Sargent seat, shorty levers, bar risers. I'm not a fan of the LED turn signals as they are causing them to flash faster but it's ok for now. He also added yellow LED high beam lights which I think looks good.
The PO also did replace the main fuse holder as the previous one was starting to get hot and melt (pictures below).

As I am getting ready to go over this bike and make sure it's reliable and based on all the electrical gremlins that I've read about (thin wires/etc), what are some things I should check or do to make sure I don't burn up the electrical system as I am 8 hours away from home?
There is also another item that was included in the parts bin but I have no idea what it is or if it's even from this bike. I've included pictures of that as well.
UPDATE: Not a VFR part
