Default T Harness issue

HD CVO Tri Glide 2021, I am replacing the stock boom box amplifier and all speakers, Speaker wise I seem to be OK but I am running into a serious snag with the T-Harness. I bought the DS 18 T-Harness
Amazon Amazon
.

However, I am either missing a component that I need to order, or need a different harness, as after looking at installing this harness it does not provide any sort of connector to connect with the input plug that was going into the boom box amplifier. Is there some sort of termination plug that I need to get and if so, can anyone help me identify the part number that I need to buy?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you for your prompt response. I finally figured out last night that I needed a CVO Amp bypass plug. The Maestro you suggested is for year 2011-2013 hence won't work. I do find the Cicada cvo plug, but it keeps referring to the saddlebag, but I trust it would work.....anyone has experienced with these?.....I have a shout out to Cicada...but just in case...https://cicadaaudio.com/product/hdcvobp2123/ or this https://cicadaaudio.com/product/hdcv...***-plugs-set/
I suspect that the hdcvobp2123, is the same as the other one + more amp bypass plug when you have other amps in saddlebag.

Not sure if all CVO amp bypass plugs are the same, but I have a couple laying around. If it will work for you let me know where to send it. I got them from either biketronics or soundz.

================

Thank you kindly for your offer, couple of possible snags however. There appears to be at least 2 different type of plugs, ie; for year 2013 and lower, or 2014+ hence it would be important to determine what you have. The second snag is I am in Canada, mind you my Bank will allow me to send you money in the USA to cover at minimun the USPS fees.

Again, thank you for your help and offer.
Best regards.
