Wondering where others locate the battery tender? The pic is on my 2016 Road Glide. Just rapped cord around bag bar with a couple tie raps to keep cord away from exhaust.
Mine hangs almost in the same location, but on the opposite side. I use it to plug in an external USB port to charge the phone or tablet in the right bag.
I have mine coming out of the left cover routed between the frame and the left saddlebag. Easy to reach and when charging, I just lay the charger lead on seat(my wall plugin for the charger is on the right side), which keeps it off the exhaust when I get home.
Mine is routed through the slot in the bottom behind left cover (shows routing in the owners manual) just enough hangs down for connection and no need to tuck away because it isn't long enough to reach the exhaust.
Exact same setup as mine. My dealer routed it to that location at my 1,000 mile service. From the factory it was originally tucked up under the left hand cover.
I rerouted mine up the the passenger communications port on my tourpak( I have an Ultra) because I was too lazy to bend down to plug it is every time I got home. Not to hard to extend the cable for it to reach
Just curious, as I am new to the HD scene (coming from Victory *oh no!*) but is this to charge often? I have never needed to use my tender cables and never had a battery go sour *knocks on wood* but is this something I should do with this bike?
I routed mime up the side cover and comes out along side of seat and saddlebag. While its not seen its easy to get to. I try to ride my bike every day so I don't use it that often. Once winter comes I use it on a more regular basis.
