Default What is this connector

I just replaced my A/C on my 06 Bob with the Arlen Ness Big Sucker. When I took off the stock A/C there was a cable that was clipped into the bottom of the stock A/C housing, but was not connected to anything. Because there is no where on ther Big Sucker backplate to clip this wire I just zip tied it out of the way. Does anyone know what this cable is for?

I'll make it easy for you since searching almost gives you too much information...

If you live in America, you won't need that thing. That's all you need to know.

It operates a solenoid in the air box.
That unit is called the Active Intake Solenoid. It's purpose is to open an air valve in the air cleaner at speeds over 70KPH, with a throttle opening greater than 50%. It is for international models (HDI).
Reference: HD service manual pages 4-3, 4-7.

Hope that answers your question.

On my bike, it keeps coming unfastened from the socket. No matter how securely I think I've got it pushed into the socket, I'll find it hanging out from under the airbox after a "spirited" ride.

Swear to gawd... first time I saw it hanging down I thought my L'rider had come equipped with a tampon.

If you live in Europe, you'll need something like this http://www.vtwinmania.co.uk/product_...oducts_id=1314
There's also a Dynojet version of this in the Zodiac online catalog. If you have a SE Race Tuner, you can disable it there.
