YES, my 1970 has a neutral safety switch. The bike will not start in gear. And yes it is a PITA if the bike stalls out in the middle of an intersection, been there done that. Came from MoCo like that, I do not know what years they started doing it or when they stopped. I would suspect a 1969 has the same one my '70 does.
I thought about disconnecting it, then I decided to leave it. Once you know it is there, you work around it. When you don't know it is there and the bike won't start, hair pulling commences. Good luck.

I ask this because I'm going through the wiring diagrams on 65 though 69 HDs to rewire a 65 (pan). The 65 had turn signals, circuit breaker, starter relay added so I've been annotating a 68-69 wiring diagram with plans to reference it as base wiring.. I hate the fact that the diagram numbers everything then refers to another page plus they don't tell you what the terminal functions are in the terminal blocks. I'll post it once I get it done..
