Default Loose connectors under tank near throttle body

Had the dealer install the SE Intake today as well as the Stage 1 Download. Nice improvement on my '11 Ultra Classic. When I got the bike home, I went to clean up the cover of the intake and noticed two loose connectors above the throttle body that seem to be dangling from the lower part of the tank. Anybody know what those are? I'm assuming that they were not connected to anything before the install of the intake since only the Induction Module Bracket needed to be removed and the diagram in the instruction sheet doesn't seem to show them.

Bike runs fine, so I am assuming that they exist for some accessory that I don't have on the bike. But of course, it's going to drive me nuts if I don't figure out what they are.

Can you post a pic of the connection? I can't think of any thing that should be loose, or not connected, to the best of my memory (which is very bad at times) I think you have like five connectors there, three connected to the TB and two that are connected to each other.

One other thing that confuses me, you had the dealer install these items, and then you had to clean up afterwards? The dealer did not wash and clean your bike?

Can't remember what they're for, but they're not in use on stock / stage 1. They shouldn't necessarily be dangling... There's a connector they "snap" to somewhere... I'm pretty sure that connector came off at one point when installing the SE cleaner, but was reattached.

Geez, I might have to run out and take a look at it... In any case, they're not used.

Those are most likley for the international version. They have a trap door in the air cleaner that is electronically controlled. I have similiar wires hanging on my wide glide that were clipped to the back of the stock air cleaner.

Yeah, I suppose that's it. I took a flashlight out and looked closely, and they are capped and not being used. Doesn't look like they were knocked loose during the install. Crisis averted....

That's exactly what they are. When you had the stock air cleaner there was a clip that held them in place.

Yep you are correct.The connector on mine is just hanging also because of the filter swap.
I have to remove the tank and tie the connector to something.
