I have nothing to offer except I just bought a used road king, and it has THREE different charging ports connected to the battery! One coming out the front under the tank, and one on each side. There's an idea for you

Someone was probably using the ports to power heated gear. Not sure why else you would need three.....LOL

I think I worded my question wrong, I found the charger cable behind the left side cover. I was wondering where people were routing the cable so as not to have to remove the side cover when you use it. Thanks.

Mine came sticking out on the front of the cover and kind of laying on the lower engine case. If you push it back under when not in use you can't notice it. Just leave it out enough so you can grab it with your fingers when you want to plug in. Works great.

Yeah, just remember to insert the little plug that's connected to the cord, especially if it rains or whatever.
