Just wondering. What is this area under the seat designed to hold with the rubber strap.

Under the seat

I've got my owner's manual under the strap.

that's for a "U" lock
I put my tire repair kit under the seat. Fits just perfect.. Put the pump in the hole between the 2 sadle bags.
In Europe, the bike comes with a tool kit (I don't think it comes with a U-lock as standard), and the tool kit is held by the strap. A U-lock fits around the tool kit. That's where I've got my Fuzeblock.
I actually put a U lock under my seat for a little bit. After a while I found it was a PITA to remove the seat to get to it so I started leaving it at home. I ended up leaving that space empty.
The U-lock cable is for your helmet according to the manual.

This is a picture of under the seat on my NT. As it is the European Model, specifically the the French Version*, it came with the tool kit. I have added the U-Lock a T-Bar wrench and some locktight - oh and a spare wire-tie.
Tool kit contents:
* Yes there is a specific French Version. You can only have the speedo, fuel computer, etc. in Metric.

If I remember correctly those were not included in later tool kits. When I ordered my tool kit from the UK it was not on the parts list for the 2010 models. I ended up getting one from a US tool kit company that has I believe a 26 on one end and a 27 on the other end so it fits the front or rear axel nut.

Note: you have to buy each tool individually. You can not just buy a complete kit. It cost me about $80 US to purchase them all separately.

I built my own tool kit and placed it in that spot. Works well..

I added to my Honda tool kit to the point it now takes up most of the right pannier 
LOL, Warren. Mine doesn't take up most of the right pannier, but it takes up maybe 1/4 of it. I manage to get my 1st-Aid kit, my Warm'n'Safe heated jacket, my tire-repair kit and mini-compressor, and (just barely) my Geeza Gear bike cover into mine.I added to my Honda tool kit to the point it now takes up most of the right pannier
The tool kit is likely 1/2 or better of the weight, though.

Yup, if you pull up the European version of the owners manual, their bike comes with a tool kit and it gives you the Honda part number for the specific U-lock. Not the helmet wire we get, but a bike lock.
