If you have the battery tender harness it does have a fuse

It's easy enough to pull off the seat and check. I would before I plugged anything in. I would at least put a meter on the leads to make sure it wasn't put on backwards

If you're using a DelTran battery tender, it doesn't hurt anything if you wire it backwards. It'll tell you and it won't hurt anything.

I think what Portas is saying is he wants to hook it up to his fuse block or directly into the cycles wiring harness.
I say just hook it up the way it is supposed to be, directly off the battery. I just picked one up last night, but have not opened the package yet.
