That plug is for heated grips. I did away with that as well as the green connector.

Yup, those are for heated grips. I also did away with them too. Saves alot of room where the bars neck down to the grip.

She may have been referring to the front brake light switch. I could see them charging somebody $130.00 to replace that.

Ok gonna have a few cocktails. Maybe tomorrow I'll get the ambition to break everything down again and delete the green plug. I swear they do this on purpose to make people miserable! Weather is in low 30's here so no rush to get out there anyhow.

Thanks everyone

It sounds stupid, but I had the same issue...because I forgot to plug in the tbw connector under the fairing. Sometimes it's a simple oversight...

That's why I did the CVO harness for $100. No more green plug. Glad he got it figured out, tho. Gonna do different bars this winter, I want to go back to 1.5" bars. Those Malo's look nice!
