I get it. You really don't need it as long as you have a Service Manual, or search Google or YouTube. Set bike and click thru them.

I just ask a question to the first poster.

Keep forgetting about the stalkers.
What you are missing is that the OP, is simply trying to find a place to connect his lights and control them. As he states the switches are gone for accessory control and it's probably done via CAN and using an app on the display. I suspect that HD has something already.

Correct- on the 25 models, you connect heated grips (or whatever acc to connector 325), then activate with Digital Tech.

Thank you. All that needless fussing.

Least that ought to limit it to one adapter. Not 12.

Here is the pic, AFAICT.

The original connector is obsolete, big and not waterproof which is really the reason why it should not be used on a motorcycle.
