Default Battery tender plug in
Decided it was time to hook up my battery tender on my 2013 cvo road glide. Looked all over and couldn't find it hanging anywhere. My non cvo road glide had it hanging next to the frame. Is it possible my expensive cvo didn't come with one ?

It's not a factory installed item, some dealers install them as a courtesy during pre delivery inspection.

Many dealers install them on the bikes.
Perhaps yours did not.
Most pigtails dangle above or near the oil dipstick, right side.

I can't speak for the 13's, but the 14's came with one inside the left cover where the fuses are. My dealer pulled them out and put them along the rear rail before delivery, but it was a factory installed item.


Check your owner's manual as mine shows it inside that cover from the factory.

13s not factory installed. As stated, many dealers do it.... My dealer is not one of them. 14s HD incorporated into harness

That's what threw me off. My 13 glide had one, my bike before it had one, my 14 limited has one. Couldn't believe my cvo didn't have one .

pull the left side panel off and see if its there, if not then looks like you need a pigtail which is pretty cheap to do and bet your dealer has one for cheap
