Where is the best spot to bring the Battery Tender pigtail out on the FLSTF? Any help appreciated!

 

I brought mine out under the frame and between the oil tank just in front of the oil filler neck. I tucked the slack in the area in front of the battery where the frame forks. I then brought the plug out and faced it towards the rear of the bike. I used a zip tie to hold it in place. I may be able to post a pic later this weekend. I just wanted to make sure the seat would not sit on the wire.

 

Not a very good picture, but this is where I have it 'mounted' on my FatBoy.

(Kind of hidden away, but easy to use and high enough that it doesn't come close to making contact with the belt).

 

Mine tucks between the top of the oil tank and the frame. It stays in place and out of sight, until I sweep a finger in to get it.

 

I have always mounted mine high and just beneath the seat because mine doubles as a connection to the battery tender while in the garage and the power input for my HD heated gear.

 

TnHarley7,

The fuse set up for the vest is very different from that of the charger.

I looked it up when I bought the electric jacket and gloves. I wish I remembered which way, but either your vest will overdraw and pop the fuse or the vest will only work half power. Either way, I ran a separate line after reading up on it. (then forgot exactly why).

Mine is on the right side between the back of the oil tank and the back frame rail.
Can tuckaway and almost invisable. Just use figer to pull out and then connect.
Its outa sight. Easy to use. and not going to get drenched.

 

Have mine installed on the left side. I can tuck it behind the coil when not in use. I think it depends on which side you plan to have the charger on. My bench and plugs are on the left. The pig tail is a standard two-prong plug for trailer harnesses at the hardware store. You can make up your own connectors for anything that need 12vlts for your bike.
