Default warning light after battery install

Installed a new battery in a 2008 Electra glide classic, bike starts right up but am getting a warning light on the tach. It has an arrow pointing to a gauge. What is this and how do I clear it?

That is the light that signals that the cruise control is on, but not engaged. Turn off the accessory switch for the cruise control and the light should go off.

Or activate the cruise switch under the throttle (to set your cruising speed), and watch that light turn Green.

Look at your car cruise and you will see the same symbol.
