Hey guys. Got my bike hooked up to the tender and looks like its charging properly! Will update.
Does anyone know what this hose is doing connected at the bottom of the frame? It is plugged up with this bracket thing with no outlet, and leads to the oil tank. I included images below. Appreciate any help, sorry for the noob questions! Bottom of frame next to primary Connection to oil tank?

Oil drain hose. Keep that attached to frame. You will have fun with your new service manual. Knowing so little is dangerous and can get expensive... much more expensive than the service manual. Did you take a look at that set of manuals?

Haha yes, thank you. I purchased the Clymer manual, should be coming in this week. I read that it covered all the bases, would you recommend?

Oh man! I'm sorry I didn't specify that you should not buy the clymer manual... like specifically do not buy. I think I kind of did if I said Harley Service manual. They're incomplete, scattered hard to navigate and the wiring diagrams are not intuitive. They try to accomplish too much in one book... you probably bought one that spans 2004 to 2013.... you could have bought one specific to your year and not full of a bunch of crap you don't need to clutter what will be an already cluttered mind while in the midst of a problem.
For example I thumbed through the clymer for 10 minutes looking for something that I'm still sure is not actually there... I watched a video where the guy pulled out his harley manual... before realizing I own that one for this bike too ... so I dropped the clymer grabbed the harley manual went to the index and went directly to the page that held the info... 10 seconds and success instead of 10 minutes and failure... my brother in law saw that and finally bought the 2004 harley service manual. Clymer requires a manual to read the manual. Its seems like alot of money but its not. Wait till you get your first Harley Service bill because your manual was too confusing to provide you with the confidence to do it yourself.

What happened to bike!!
I got her rippin today! Cleaned and snugged up the contacts and let the tender do its work. I think I just need a new battery as this one isn't holding charge very long even after a short ride. Super excited though! Thanks for the help.

Yeah, battery tenders can be misleading. Can show a full charge but if a battery has a bad cell it's not really good to go. New battery time.
I like the clip for the drain hose, my son's 08 Roadster just hangs down
