Not you my friend, HD did a good one with their opener. The points are good though. LOL

"First of all, you need to know why you should buy a Harley Davidson Battery for your motorcycle. It's simple. All motorcycle batteries were NOT created equal."

I have a battery tender Jr. connected to my bike any time I am not riding it and it is parked in the garage. You need a good tender not a HF special. Had one of those HF ones and it cooked my new battery over the winter. I keep a tender on my corvette battery as the car sometimes sits for 3-4 months. The battery in the vette is still good and it is ten years old and I know it is because it stays on a tender. I keep a tender on my lawn tractor, and my quad.
