new to harleys

just saying hi, my name is Troy and I'm new to Harleys just bought my first Harley its a 2012 Dyna Street Bob. Have to say I love the bike it runs and rides great but I have a lot to learn.

so my question is: there is a 2 wire pigtail that comes out under and behind the breather what is this used for? I thought battery tender but found the tender connection closer to battery box by the passenger pegs. any help would be great.

thank you

It's used for European models. Don't worry about it.

^^^Yup^^^ Just adding...because, personally, I prefer to have too much info rather than not enough... Some of the EU countries have noise restrictions that US-spec models can't meet. The EU-spec models have intake (air cleaner) and exhaust systems with electronic valves that close at low throttle openings to reduce noise. Those systems aren't fitted here.
