Are you serious? You bought a Harley and won't even take the time to remove the seat?

Save yourself a lot of headaches and money in the future....just sell it.

I have mine coming out just rear of the seat and wedge it behind the saddlebag support bar when not in use.

Don't know what year your RK is, on the 09 and later models I run it so it comes out through one of the holes in front of and under the daterry then use a zip tie so it doesn't hang down too far. Can probably do something similar on the 08 and earlier frames, just haven't PDI'd one of those lately and my memory ain't what it used to be.

Default Whoa!

I think he means he doesn't want to remove the seat every time he plugs in/unplugs his tender but he doesn't want an empty lead hanging out either.

Deep breaths. Slowwwly.... Mellllowwww....

I used to have mine tucked behind the coil cover but since I'm running heated gear now, I brought the coax up under the front of the seat horn where it's much easier to hook up to.

Mine is below the seat and near the frame where I can tuck it. Be careful as I smashed the lead on it once.

I take my seat off. I wanted to hook up the kit and have the plug tucked under my seat but I can't get at the battery terminals so easily on my Deluxe. The pos is very hard to get to unless I start unplugging chit and pull the battery up out of the hole.

Like I said.. I just pull the seat.

There's a hole in the frame below the seat. When I'm not using it, it pushes back in enough so that it's not visible
