The Harley-Davidson part number 56410-53 refers to an OEM Control Coil End Plug.
While modern riders associate the word "coil" strictly with the engine's electrical ignition coil, in vintage Harley-Davidson terminology, a "control coil" refers to the coiled outer metal sheath of the internal handlebar throttle and spark advance cables. This plug is a critical mechanical piece of that handlebar linkage.
🔧 Part Function & Application
Component Type: Internally threaded handlebar control cable end plug (0.188" cable capability).
Primary Use: Threads into the handlebar control mechanism to anchor the inner throttle or advance wire casing. It keeps the external "control coil" sheath locked in place so the internal wire can pull smoothly against it without binding or slipping out of position.

1954–1974 Big Twins (FL, FLH, Duo-Glide, Electra Glide configurations)
1954–1973 K, KH, and XL Models (Early Ironhead Sportsters)
1958–1973 Servi-Car models (equipped with rubber-mounted handlebars)
