Thanks!

Here is the other side, I just got the pin in today. It takes about 2 minutes to remove the pin backs and grind down the remaining nubs. Then about another minute to put the RTV on and stick it. I then put a small piece of tape over it to hold it in place.

Looks good. I used a piece of Polycarbonate. Scratches a bit but much cheaper then what HD offers..

Default 12v accessory plug/ battery tender port

Easy mod, pretty cheap, if you can run wires and use a crimper, you got it!

-12v marine cigarette lighter plug (any where between $5 and $15 depending on your location)
- a few feet of red and black wire (or color of your liking)
- an inline fuse holder (about $3 at wally world/napa/parts store)
- wire loom to cover the wires ($3ish bucks for a pack with about 10ft at walmart)
- a few zip ties
- and a decent location that fits your needs.

all together i have about $15 tied up in the 12v plug port. it's hooked direct to the battery for the battery tender, as well as hooking up a phone charger for the passenger, or while you're at work, ect....

i located mine on the right side under the tour pack, mounted to one of the tour pack brackets.

Can you explain this? Do you mean you hook a tender into there? Excuse my confusion por favor
