My lowrider came with one but the dealer told me they installed it as a courtesy to their customers. It is located alongside the battery box just above the swingarm.

when you get a chance swing by your stealer to get the permanent connector. It is only 10 bucks. then you can just plug in and out anytime without having to mess with mounting those alligator clips.
Also look at your battery. Is there more than the pos. and neg . cable attached to it? If you have additional wires attached to each terminal, then you probably do have the plug installed and just missed where they routed it.
all the mechanics I have talked to (stealer and independent) feel that tendering the battery every night possible leads to longer battery life.

I didn't have one on my '06 Superglide but added it myself - its a great addition, especially in the winter time or when you are away from your bike for a while.

I wonder why it is some have it and some dont.
I looked in the service manual for the 08 Dynas, and there it was in the schematics

Here in SoCal, the only thing I use mine for is the air compressor to keep the tires up to snuff

I looked on my Fat Bob just to see and I did find a wide/flat connector with 4 wires going into it that is capped off. I don't have a manual for reference but with 4 wires I would have to guess it might be the OBD connector.....that isn't it is it?

I found it.It has one.It was on the left side,behind those 2 big spark plug looking wires.It was tucked in there.I fished it out a little when the seat was off.Well at least I know i can remove the battery cover and seat without destroying anything.
