Installing Battery Tender Leads

[jimmykjimmy]

I talked to the dealer rep about installing Battery Tender leads he said it takes a little effort but its not a problem. Not sure what he means by "a little effort". Anyone ever install the leads? Guess it means easily getting to the battery, that might be a problem, thanks

Have the battery tender. Supper easy install. Ran the leed down inside of frame from the battery, with wire ties so that it comes out just above the belt on the inside so that you don't see the leed and it is easy to get at.hyea:

+1...love the thing...leave the leads on all the time although I only hooked the bike up over the winter...used velcro to keep it attached under my seat so that the plug won't go everywhere...

I use the same powerlet out on my dash for my gps and battery tender; it's fused and live all the time.

I use the battery tender for winter, can you guys show me (link) what you installed. THat sounds like it be better than hooking it up every winter straight to the battery

By a little effort he probably is refering to the need to remove some panels to get at the true battery leads, not the jump start extensions under the seat. No sweat, just a little time and some wire ties to get the lead to stay where you want it...and away from the hot stuff.

Scotty,

You might want to explain it as I learned how to do it from you! What a great recommendation you made!
