Default Handlebar Controls Question

Does anyone know what the switch is for that is behind the clutch lever on a 2007 Street Glide? I bought a chrome control set on ebay and the kit they sent me doesn't have the hole for this switch. The company I bought the kit from says there is no switch on the clutch side and I MUST be looking at the brake side!! I even sent them pictures!!

It tells the ecm the clutch is disengaged. Start in gear/turn off cruise. But I thought it started in '08??

Thanks for the help. I have no idea what year they started using them. mine is definitely a 2007. I'm finding it hard to find a chrome control kit with the hole for that switch.

I couldn't find controls I liked that had the clutch disengaged switch. This switch is normally closed (hot) when the lever is out, and open when the lever is pulled in. I just soldered the ends of the wires together inside the nacelle housing to delete the switch. If you do this the bike will only start in neutral.
