Purchased a battery tender and I'm looking for ideas on where other have mounted the pig tail from the battery. Any pictures showing where you mounted yours would be appreciated.
+1:thumbup:. Easy access and can fold and tuck in out of the way.I snaked mine through the opening on the side panel and left it there with just enough slack to grab it and connect it. I keep it capped when under way.
+2 Easy peezy :thumbup:I snaked mine through the opening on the side panel and left it there with just enough slack to grab it and connect it. I keep it capped when under way.
I have the plug for my heated liner at the same location, but I don't use a battery tender. I drive mine regularly instead. ?I used to use the cigarette lighter method as described above. That worked really well.
Since I use a Gerbings jacket liner with the plug coming up on front of the seat near the fuel filler door, now I have a male end of a Gerbings connector soldered onto the battery tender. When I get home, I just step off the bike, and plug the tender into the Gerbings plug.

Now that is a good setup!I made a multi use BMW plug. Use it for Battery Tender, Slime Compressor and passenger Gerbing.
Mine is there as well, also I got a usb that plugs into it and run up to the grab handle so my wife can charge her iPhone while we ride :thumbup:I snaked mine through the opening on the side panel and left it there with just enough slack to grab it and connect it. I keep it capped when under way.
:yes1:View attachment 65224 Here's where mine is attached. Very simple.
Yup, +1I snaked mine through the opening on the side panel and left it there with just enough slack to grab it and connect it. I keep it capped when under way.
I wouldn't like making an electrical connection next to the fuel filler.4:I ran mine up into the fuel cap area. open the fuel door, and there it is..
Same here.just run it down let it hang out close to rear crash bar , quick tie it to crash bar ,,works great plug it in leave tender sit on rear boards
+3 (or 4 or whatever number we're on now). I have it sticking out just enough to grab it, but it's not going to get in the way. I don't like the idea of taking off the side cover just to plug in the charger since the tabs on the side covers get broken WAAAAY too easily.I snaked mine through the opening on the side panel and left it there with just enough slack to grab it and connect it.
