Good to know, I will check mine and add shrink tubing as needed. I don't wash mine very often just use purple slice and microfiber cloth.

 

Just got mine early this year. Bought mine from a geezer who never rode the bike. Had 351 miles when I purchased it early this year. Has 1850 miles now and my trip with my wife to Big Bend National Park in two weeks should add some mileage. Waiting for my Love Jugs to arrive so I can keep it cool on the trip.

 

Saw this picture on a thread. Would like to know if it is just shrink tube or a regular item for sale. Could not find it till now.

 

I'm not sure about availability of the part you asked about, but if you can't locate it as a last resort buy a bottle of liquid tape and apply it to the backside of the connector where the wires enter. Helps keep most of the moisture out from rain and washing.

 

the harley pn #69200437......$4.10...says its for a 14my.....its about to fit an 11my.....dealer has 2 in stock.....

 

Thanks John!

 

I inadvertently stumbled on the following while researching a similar problem I recently experienced with my '14 Ultra. The issue relates to the "throttle by wire [TBW]" system. I'm not sure if this at all related to the condition mentioned by the OP. My understanding of the cause is vibration. The condition created is "corrosion fretting". The permanent cure, evidently, is changing the steel connectors to gold. Having been stranded, it's something I'm going to have service consider the next time my bike is in for routine service.

save your money on pn 69200437,wasn't big enough for 11my....

 

I installed on on my '12. I don't think HD makes two different sizes.

You do have to remove the pins from the connector to install.
