Default 2018 Road King

I’m picking up a new 2018 Road King on Monday. Where do I find ignition controled power to run a heated seat. It doesn’t look like the accessory plug that was on my 2013 is there any more. The accessory switch is not on the front of the bike. Thanks in advance

Thanks guys for the help. I’ll look there when I get the bike home. I’m looking forward to the new M8 engine and just a new bike over all.

I've looked all over for this plug. You've given me new hope.
Enjoy the new Road King. I love my 17 Road King, wouldn't trade it for anything.

Some say it's behind the left side cover.

I'm sure the salesperson will go over the bike before you take it home, or at the least they should. That's the time to ask them.

Looking at the HD catalog the 17 and new touring bikes require an electrical harness extension to be added to add a heated seat. A friend of mine added a Heated Hammock seat to to his RGS and had to buy the harness.
Enjoy the new bike and congratulations.
