It's part of the "luggage rack" for hooking up the factory hard bags. It
allows the bags to swing slightly. They can both swing right, left or
out simultaneously, but they can not swing in simultaneously. 
One of the Triumph reps explained it to me the day I bought my '06. 
Doesn't make any sense to me dynamically (or any other "ly" for that
matter).
I've removed all the hard bag mounting hardware from my bike. I don't
like the hard bags, and I am perfectly happy using my Cortech soft bag
set. It fits better, looks better, and feels better when loaded. (IMHO)

anyone know what the weird bar with two black balls, one on either end,
is
for on the new st1050?

it sits under the seat, just before the back licence plate holder.

I'm guessing its something to do with the panniers, but its butt ugly.
Surely there's a better solution? Even the rack to hold the top of the
boxes
is not pretty.

The Beemer K1200s has awesome panniers, they are expandable, and when
they
clip off they leave nothing behind.
