'07 1200C need some advice
Went to start up the wifes Sporty to move it out of the way. Turned key on, hit the run switch and fuel pump did it's thing and then I hit the start button and instantly lost all power. No lights, no nothing. Did I blow a fuse, if so which one? Thanks guys
Yep. Dead battery. The 07 & newer Sportsters have a constant power draw. I have to put my 08 on trickle charge a day before I get it out the first time each year.
What you are explaining isn't uncommon.

another vote for the tender... if my bike is in the garage, its hooked up (and it is often my daily driver)! i like the tenders so much that i have 3 running most of the time (2 bikes and one cage).

Check the battery connections
Before you replace the battery "Check the connection". I have had the exact same thing happen twice, now I carry a small wire brush and the few sockets required in a zip lock bag on both my Sportsters (07 883L & 08 1200C).
I haven't had the problem since mid 08 because I remove the battery, clean and reinstall it when I change the oil.
