Hmmm...Are all your batteries installed that way? I have my terminals on the inside, so attaching cables has been a piece of cake. I am installing my Powerlet beside the battery box, there was a piece of heavy tape covering the hole, and it fits perfectly.

Happy to be of help Chad... The Powerlet device fits perfectly, just have to drill some bolt holes.

Tomt I think I might know where you got the idea for your setup....

For the OP, it's going to be tight but if you take your time there is enough room for the charging pigtail. Running it across the bike and behind the electrical panel is a good solution for hiding the plug but keeping it accessible. That electrical panel cover just pops right off.

Must be different on older models, mine has the terminals on the inside so you get to them under the seat.
The previous owner had the dealer install the pigtail, they have it ziptied to the bracket for the passenger peg on the battery side of the bike.

Easy to get to, just plug it in works great.

See below for an inexpensive easy quick connect / disconnect Battery Tender hook up. Mines out of sight, mounted and recessed under the coil cover.

Rich - do you have this installed? It's not on the above photo, but I imagine it looks perfect. I'll be ordering one of these and most likely the same kit you have. Already have the leads, this will just finish that off nicely.

Thanks for the link.

Yes I do, a little tricky tightening the nuts, but no big deal. Will take a pic for you tomorrow, no lighting out in the garage. Since it is all black, it is hardly noticeable.

Where would that be? I see you and I posted on the same Thread on heated gear.

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...-question.html

When I got the heated jacket. I didn't want to keep plugging it into the pigtail that came from the battery for the tender. It was hanging under my seat on the frame. I found powerlet product.com after a long search on Google and purchased the Luggage Electrix Connector.

Let me know who has this setup. Is it you? If so, sorry to say, you were not the influence for my idea. It would have saved me a lot time searching on Google for a connector.
