Default Battery tender plug

Do the Dynas, specifically the Switchback, come with this plug installed?
I can't seem to locate it.

It is an aftermarket item.
My dealer puts one on every bike he sells, but no HD's come from the factory with one, to my knowledge.

I could be wrong but I thought the newer bikes come with it. Everyone I know with a Harley had one on it when they bought it but the oldest bike anyone has that I know is 2012. My 15 Fxdb and 17 fxdls came with it tucked inside the fuse panel on the left side of the bike.

Harleys have come with those since about 2009 or so. Yours is there somewhere, unless someone removed it for some strange reason.

If you can't find it they sell them for around $3.00 and more than likely will put it on for you next time you do the service or you can take your seat off and out it on your self if your comfortable, also that's the best way to find it if it's already there.

Pull off the battery cover; if the Tender pigtail is there you'll see it hooked up to the battery terminals.

If you don't have one they're inexpensive and simple to hook up. You'll need to disconnect the battery cables (negative off first, negative on last) and partially pull the battery out of the box, then feed the end of the pigtail out of the hole on the right side of the battery tray at the rear of the tray and drop it behind the battery box.

Don't bend the battery cover to feed it out. Yea, I've seen it done; at a dealer sitting on the showroom floor, a Fat Bob with the battery cover bent to feed out the pigtail; absolute morons...
