Smile plug behind stock aircleaner

This one comes up on a periodic basis. It's the active intake solenoid connector -- used on the European bikes. Search the forum to see what this thing does for our European friends. The stock plastic air cleaner has a slot to hold it in place. Most other air cleaners don't have a slot for it. As others have said, just zip tie it out of the way so that it doesn't flop around or melt through engine contact.

Found that when I replaced my AC also. Figured if it wasn't hooked up when I found it, it wasn't worth worrying about. Zip tied it and forgot about it until now.

Thanks

ok...sorry to ask what is probably a stupid question...but what is the mud-mod...I'm sure this is something that everyone knows about but sometimes (or often times) I'm kinda slow...I'm guessing it has something to do with changing out the air filter???..

I was just about to post my own picture and ask what this thing was--just double checked the wire colours and indeed its the AI Solenoid. I just installed the Ness Big Sucker. It has a hole for the AI Solenoid in the back but its slightly too small for the solenoid plug. Ill plan on filing it down a bit and stick it in the hole (as the vicar said to the actress).

My next question is: if this is only used on European models, how comes HD doesnt have a USA wire harness so we dont have to have all these dangly bits hanging off our bikes? Maybe just cost effective to use a one-size-fits-all harness?

Thanks for info on this guys.
