I use both the GB40 & GB150 -- excellent jump starters.

Correct about the branded NOCO. John Maxwell posted a comparison video on the two. The biggest difference between the two are the clamps, Harley's version are more petite for the tight spaces on some bikes.

+1 on the XP-10.
Mine stays in the saddlebag all the time except to top off the charge every couple of months.

I do also recommend the mini-air pump they make for it as well as the remote cable.
With the remote cable you simple plug in the jump starter and start the bike.

Note: don't try to ever jump start the bike using the battery tender cable.
If you're lucky all you will do is melt the cable (trust me I know what I'm talking about )

Can you hook any of these up to the Battery tender ports that come on most Harleys now? I don't know if the wiring is heavy enough to pass enough amps to jump start it. It would be nice if you could do it this way because getting to the battery is not fast on some bikes. My buddies 18 Fatbob for example.

No! No! NO! The HD or Battery Tender wire is rated around 150 amps. It can melt. I recommend the EarthX cable. It looks like your current tender cable but is designed to carry 400 amps of energy without melting the wire. The standard SAE fitting will fit any standard portable jump pack on the market today. IMO either add it to your bike or replace your current tender line. And you can use it for a power source for a passenger heated jacket.
It comes in a 24" & 48" length. https://earthxbatteries.com/shop/etx-qcc2

I have both cables on my bike. I use the Earth X cable with my Juno lithium jump battery. That battery is the size of an iPhone.

May consider review of jump leads that permit SAE tender connection and jumper connection directly to battery because some harnesses do not permit two way voltage travel.
This might impact individuals that want to use that jump lead under seat as a power port for cell phone, heated gear, air pumps etc.
Some of the bolt on battery leads have voltage protection that hinders use as a power supply.
Voltage can go towards motorcycle battery but not out.
Might be a safety feature to protect jump pack.

Ya got me thinking. I just went and checked my EarthX wire and it does allow for heated gear. I plugged some in and it fired the gear up. I thought it did, but I had not used it in so long, I had to check.
