It's on the opposite side of fork lock. Looks like missing a screw/plastic clip. Tired to find what screw was on Ronnie HD website but couldn't find it.

On my 2018 Heritage, a clip holding wires that run to the lights is there.

That clip is holding the brake lines running from the front brake master cylinder to and from the ABS module. Apparently the OP's bike lacks ABS.

Thanks all. Uncle G is right, the bike doesn't have ABS.

As stated those are ABS brake lines not wires.
