Default Softail deluxe fork lock

Got my 2017 Softail Deluxe and can’t find the fork lock. Was easy to lock forks on my old Road King. Is there a fork lock? Thanks

Look on the right side of the steering neck, above the lower bearing. HINT - it's FRAME mounted where the front end turns right/left. LOL
