Default Handlebar wires

So on my 2011 sg, I put new bars on. The wires run through them and out the middle by clamp. I got the 6 wire one hooked back up, but can't remember where the little 2 wire goes. Anybody know?

That's what it's for or are you asking if I have heated grips?

There for heated grips remains unconnected, unless yo have heated grips, of course. If you used wire extensions with connectors, you might find that everything doesn't fit as nice as it did in the grommet/boot. We wrapped everything , including the heated grip wire and connector neatly in 33+ black tape.

You asked, "...where the little 2 wire goes. Anybody know?" I said, "Heated grips."

I work with electrics and wiring all the time. I've developed a habit of taking pictures of connectors (what color wire in which location) and wire routing.
