These days these are a must riding bikes or not. This is the one I bought but I bet they are all good really. Yes more than enough to jump a dead V-8 and hardly use any of it up. I jump a dead 6 cylinder S-10 and it still had 100% battery life.

I have the NOCO GB70, and it has plenty of power. Started 2 dead cars, then my Massey and still had most of the
battery left, and this was in the winter.
However, check this video, the results might just surprise you.
For some strange reason I can't get the YouTube video to work.
Go to YT and search for "Which Car Jump Starter Is Best?"

I'm not an electrician and so I don't totally understand things electrical but is the Battery Tender pig tail a large enough gauge wire for the 1000 amps that
the NOCO can put out? I'd hate to fry something trying to jump a bike through the pigtail.

I now have the adaptor coming and will give it a try when I need it. I will have the big post clamps if wires get hot. If it jump quick and should I would think it would be alright.
I got the HD booster pack, it appears to be a NOCO 40 in a HD wrap. The HD version has smaller alligator clips to get in tight spaces, i.e. right to the starter stud. I also picked up the NOCO pigtail, NOCO 009. It features an 8 ga. pigtail to the battery and an adapter with an SAE universal plug so you can plug into the pigtail with your smart charger. If you need to jump the bike, just connect the booster pack to the pigtail ( no need for the clips) and away you go. Or jump your truck using the clips. Google NOCO GBC 009 and you should see it on Amazon.
I got these based off of recommendations by John Maxwell. Keeps you from digging out your battery to jump it. All you need to do is remove the side cover, plug the H-D/NOCO in, and you're good to go. Never had to use them yet, and keeping the alligator clips in case someone else needs a jump.

As has been posted ad nauseam on HD forums, that battery tender lead is too fine for the jump pack load. You may get away with it, but you can just get something like the Earth X lead.
It's a thicker wire and you can still use a battery tender.
I picked one up years ago and it was one of my favorite things I ever purchased. I gave them to friends and family as gifts. It's come in handy a few times over the years. Picked up a few over to keep in each vehicle.
