I routed my NOCO cable behind the right side cover, and comes out under the pre-load adjuster. I have no wire ties or anything, it's pretty thick rubber. It can be grabbed and pulled out a few inches if needed.

You can't use a battery maintainer pigtail for a jump box. The wires are not robust enough (heavy gauge) and the polarity will be reversed. My pigtail (Antigravity) exits under the left cover next to the one for the battery maintainer. Easy to plug in the jump box. Disregard the dirty bike, got caught in the rain, wash day this afternoon, LOL.

I’m going to try to add this cable tomorrow. 2015 Ultra Limited. Haven’t decided which side yet. Since the tender cable is on the left, I’ll probably put this on the right side. Hope it’s a 1 beer job.

I actually tore back in since i posted this originally, I ended up getting the cable to fit. I got it tucked and zip tie'd away under my right side cover, if I need it I'll just pop off the cover and there it is. I tried using one of the front/side terminals instead of doubling up on the top one with the +/- cables, I couldn't get everything tucked back in, so I had to put double cables on the top mounts. It was a bitch trying to get both positive cables lined up and screwed down coming from the top. I thought 1 cable was hard enough to wrangle. itll be worth it though when I can just boost it instead of having to take the battery in and out for storage.

Thats what I’m thinking, just run it down inside the cover. Thank you.
