Default What is this plug??????
I noticed this plug when switching out my pipes and wonder what it is for. It is located behind the transmission and to the inside of the exhaust pipes. was thinking it might be a dianogsitic plug.

I believe it is the active exhaust connector for international HD's...noise control.

You may be talking about the wire that is only used in Europe.

My 07 has that one and one by the air cleaner. European models have an "active intake and exhaust".

Would you happen to have the parts number for the flame thrower. That might be a good way to fix the tailgaters.

Here you go.
This guy is using the flame thrower connector on his Road King. It works really well. Nice bike.
