Mine comes out on the left side just below the seat. With the stock seat it was tucked between the grab strap and seat. When I changed to the Mustang seat I did away with grab strap and it is now tucked between driver and passenger seat

Hey, I like your setup. Where did you get the that connector, and I assume it goes directly to your battery. Why did you leave the OEM connector there?? Seems redundant.

I got the connector off eBay its called a bulkhead. I made a mounting plate for it and bolted it to an existing hole in the frame. I suppose it is redundant, but I didn't even know there was an oem connector for a while.

I used a 4' extension and ran it to my tour pack. Accessible near the 12 volt accessory plug.

My OEM has a blinking red light on it, and three wires, it was forever till I fan up from it to the battery to be convinced it's the Tender Jack.

I did as some of the others, quick connect, mounted on an Aluminum Plate.
It's under the left mid frame heat shield.
Out of sight but easy to get to.

I put mine on the saddlebag guard. Just wrapped it with some electrical tape and good to go. Works fine and not very noticeable.

I mounted a 12V outlet under the seat area bolted to the underside of the frame. It is the one that is supposed to go in your left saddlebag. I use it for GPS or phone charging. I didn't want to drill holes so I mounted it and use the pigtail to power it when riding. Unplug it and zip tie it to the left bag rail when I put up and used tender.
