Batttery Tender Location

[stevec677]

Ok, it's monday so don't pile on. I tried to search but I couldn't find anything.

So after removing three different types of fasteners, I gained access to my battery. I am looking for a place to route the pigtail for my battery tender. Does anyone have any suggested routing locations? pictures?

Mine is routed so that it comes out between the gas tank & the fairing

+1... That way you can just tuck it up under the tank and it is still pretty easy to access. I will try to take pictures tonight...

Thanks guys. Did you have to zip tie it to stay in place?

Mine is routed so it comes up alongside the brake line. I wrap the short teather that holds the cap of the SAE connector around the brake line to hold it in place.

+1 on squeezer post. Also gives you a great place to plug in your tire pump, etc.

Squeezer is right. Very convenient and you don't need two hands to plug the tender in.

Thanks guys. This is exactly what I was looking for. I didn't feel like re-inventing the wheel. I figured someone had to have dealt with this before.

Now, does anyone know how to get rid of all the snow and ice on the roads so I can ride and don't need the Battery Tender?

I did something very similar to Squeezer, but using this and this. Made more sense to me for a Gen II bike.

Same as Squeezer. No muss, no fuss.

I did the same a Squeezer however I put my plug on the left side. I just figured that most of my Farkles are on the left and If I ever get heated gear it would be easier to plug and unplug while riding. Just a thought.
