Default Throttle By Wire Plug
Changed my bars recently and noticed that the TBW lead had two different plugs. I had not problem finding the main plugs receptacle but am perplexed by the other plug. I can find no mating connector inside the nacelle and the bike runs fine without it plugged in. Anyone know what it is?????

This is a shot in the dark but the other plug may be for heated grips?

Nice color choice! Love the laced wheels, too.

So it isn't missing a blank plug to keep water out or anything, Harley just put it in the nacelle loose?

I get people stopping me all the time commenting on the color. They seemed surprised that it is a 2016 for some reason, I guess that they think it is an older bike because of the retro look?
