Default What dat is?

Sure it has been asked before but....I got my DK Customs 587 air cleaner today, while removing the stock football and filter I found a red and green wire pair with a rubber cover on it clipped to the inside of the original air cleaner box. Obviously it serves no purpose on my particular wide glide since it has a plug cover but what was its intended purpose? I just tie wrapped it out of sight. By the way the new bobber cover looks great and DK Customs fab job on the back plate was spot on. Delivery was 3 days from when I ordered it. They rock!

It's for international models, don't worry about it.

What you found is the active intake solenoid connector used on the European bikes. And agreed, DK Customs does rock, I really like my 587 with the smooth bobber cover.

Finally an answer to a question that I wondered about and never asked. I have changed over 4 Dyna's to SE breathers since 2010 and always wondered what it was. Just taped it to the back of the SE back plate.

Its really the connector for a special part during a stage six build and Flux Capacitor upgrade. The Quasi Nuclear Phase Dipthrom Retarder connects to it.

I connected my Reflex Klystron to it. I can't tell any difference.
