I picked up one from harley a few years ago for 25 bucks. Plugs right into the wall socket and then into a pig tail that I installed on the bikes battery. Works fine.

I have both the Deltran battery tender and the Yuasa smart shot.

Both highly rated and work well.

Be careful that it is an intelligent low current tender...not just a charger. Most people go with th pe brand "Battery Tender". It's a reasonable price and works well. You can get it at most HD shops, and auto parts stores.

I think Ctek is the newest technology. They have a lot of models to choose from.
