Default Battery Minder
What is the easiest way to hook one up to my 09 Ultra Classic? Trying to keep from pulling my seat off all the time. Cig lighter?

Pigtail. Install once, then plug tender in when needed

Pull the seat, put a couple leads on the battery and run them out to the side. Then you can plug the bike in without pulling the seat.

The HD battery tender comes with a set.

If you don't have a set, you can go to AutoZone or some similar auto parts place, go to the "trailer wiring" section and get a two wire flat plug and make your own.

My 2010 Ultra came with one installed. The pigtail is hanging down by the tranny on the right side. I would check there before you buy one you might already have one installed.
