Default What is this?

Learning a ton about my 2010 street glide from this forum. And I have something else I am looking to learn. when looking under the bike to see how hard it would be to do the try-bar mod on my bike (cause it has the empty housing), I saw the connector in the pic below. It is tied to the cable for the brake light, and is in behind the left saddle bag. Any ideas?

Thanks for the info. I was kind of thinking that, but seems like a strange spot for it. Thanks for the help!

I'd clean it up and plug it in. then it'd stay clean if you ever want to reuse it for a rear antenna. odd that it be disconnected to begin with. if you have a hidden antenna in the fairing that hidden antenna would be plugged into the radio and the connection for the rear should be there loose. that connection at the rear could have been left plugged in . the other end isn't connected anyway.
pull the fairing and see what you have for an antenna plugged into the radio.
If theres no hidden one then reconnect the rear. and mount an antenna unless there already is one beside the rear fender on the left. although you should no if there was no antenna connected as the radio reception would suck.
good luck canuck
