Default +12v outlet behind fairing

Does anyone know if 2020 has one hidden somewhere behind the batwing to tap for power accessories?

Is it a plug? Wire colour if you remember?

Check the wiring diagram/manuals section. There is a switched two wire connection inside the fairing. If I recall correctly it is a black plug. I used mine for a go-pro clone that I mounted as a dash cam.

You could have removed the front cover from the fairing and looked in less time than it took you to post the question...

Wiring diagrams are available to view free from Harley Davidson at the HD Serviceinfo website.

https://serviceinfo.harley-davidson....47810&groupId=

There is a connector in the fairing, a two pin Tyco 070 Multilock (Black).

The wire colors are Violet/Blue and Black.

All you need are the terminals, both halves of the connector are already there.

The connector will have power when the ignition switch is in Ignition or Accessory position.

Thank you for the info. Yes, I could have, and actually did ( I just changed handlebars). I seemed to have overlooked it, hence my question. On my former bike, it stuck out like a sore thumb. Perhaps others will be helped with the this if they have the same questions.
