What exactly is a USB tender wire?
By chance do you intend to run a USB power port that gets powered by your SAE battery tender connector?
If so, keep in mind that your SAE battery tender connector is powered at ALL times.
If you keep your USB power port connected then it will draw power when the bike is OFF.
If you forget and leave the USB power port attached for a few days then the battery would drain.
Have you consider making your power attachment at the headlight nacelle.
Such attachment would only power the unit when the bike ignition was ON.
If you used an SAE connector then it would be rather hidden if not used and a simple fuse would keep things safe.
For a low draw situation you could attach to power in the nacelle with a posi-lock tap and make it a rather clean installation.

or tap into into headlight nacelle and have power only when ignition is ON and also avoid having to run wires under console.
