walmart! little Bell charger is like $20 and it works just as good as the rest. has nice disconnect and a long wire to make it to the outlet. my buddy and i both have one on our bikes in my garage and the charger is so small, you can fit 2 in one outlet.
here is a link.

Default Chargers

Any battery tender product will work. Cycle Gear has the Deltran battery tender junior for $29.00 with the harness and terminal clamps. It really doesn't matter which one. I just have been using the Deltran for years.

BEST charger is the Battery Minder - It de-sulfates your battery, but costs $50. Next best is the Battery Tender brand. Same price as the minder but no de-sulfate mode. Third best is the harbor freight float charger! Normally sells for 9.99, i just picked one up for 4.99 for my tractor. This however will not charge a battery, it just keeps the battery topped off. Worst is the "black and decker" or "vector" brand charger that wally world sells. Check out the reviews on amazon on those things. They destroy batteries. My bike gets the battery minder, my tractor gets the HF float charger, and every once in a while i put the minder on it to de-sulfate it.
