Will it start or won't it start?
Let's take a little poll. Had my 07 FatBoy in a buddy's garage for the past two months without a battery tender on it. He has no electricity in the garage or I would have it hooked up. Cold temps have averaged 25°. So........when I try to start it this weekend..... will it start or won't it? Will the battery need to be replaced or can I finally get to put it on a battery tender to try and salvage it?

Factory security system? I'd be worried.
Otherwise, I say it fires right up.
In the event it is dead, I'm not sure a Tender will charge it. (my seven dollar Harbor Freight float chargers do a great job maintaining a charge but will not re-charge a low battery) You might need a trickle charger; again not sure though.
