you want this

installation requires a dealer to change the bike's software settings (programming). I have it and it is a nice feature.

There was an extensive thread on this a while back.
I installed the upgrade kit on my '23 Ultra-Limited and couldn't be happier. The feature is VERY useful when sitting at a long light, waiting on a train, wife getting on/off, etc. As previously mentioned, once it's installed the side-stand switch has to be enabled in the ECM to enable hill hold in neutral. It was initially reported when the kit first came out that additional "software" had to be downloaded to the bike but it's just a check box in the existing software that has to be enabled. Enabling the switch will also prevent the bike from being started in gear with the side-stand down and will kill the engine if you put the side stand down while it's in gear. (Most metric bikes have been like this for years)
The switch is pretty easy to install and attaches with a single bolt that's included in the kit. If the bike has never had a side-stand switch there will be a plastic plug in the bolt hole. The harness runs along the frame to an empty connector under the frame at the front under the oil cooler. The plastic shroud on the bottom-front of the frame will have to be removed to access the connector.

I paid my dealer $30 for this (I installed the switch myself). Your money, but buying on of those, or similar, tool doesn't seem worth it to me.
