Default A/C install Question

Evening All,

I got an Arlen Ness Little sucker for my 2013 Wide Glide. I just got the bike and I'm paying the Harley Tax. I pulled off the stock cleaner and back plate and found a wire attached to the back of the plate. It looks like it was just placed there to keep it out of the way.

Anyone know what this is and more importantly what I do with it (no anatomically unlikely answers please!)?

Your help is appreciated.

Same thing happened when I installed my AN Stage II big Sucker a few weeks ago. Just tuck it up out of the way.

Wow that was fast! Thanx. You think I'll be alright just taping to the back of the new A/C ( just so it's not flopping around)?

Out of curiosity did anyone else have to buy new bolts? My stock ones are too short although the directions say they should fit. Also gonna have to get new tubing for my breather bolts since my aren't shaped right. Is this a little sucker issue? Or a wide glide issue?

My big sucker came with all required hardware. I have never used the little sucker so I am no help on that end sadly.
