Default Battery Tender Hookup?

I too purchased the Big Crank for my 09 Street Glide. The stocker just seemed to be getting a little weak and I didn't want to chance it.

I want a tender too, some times the bike sits for a week at a time and going into Winter it's a must.

Is this the hook up for the tender on the 09 Street Glide?

Yes it is....


Went for a ride with a couple friends one day. One of the guys goes to start the bike at our favorite watering hole. It was flat DEAD. So two of us fat guys pushed it to start it. That is a work out and a half.

i have a tender on both bikes. Battery Tender Jr, very inexpensive. Have not bought a battery since 07 for my 04 bike. Battery still whips the starter great even with 10.5 to 1. I do have compression release values that i use most of the time.

Well, I got lucky. called the Dealer and he said there was a bad cell in the battery they installed a week ago. Didnt charge me a penny for coming and getting the bike or anything. Very happy.

my bike sat almost 1 year as I was making up my mind for the rebuild of the motor, that distroyed that battery, I got the bike back about 4 months ago and the new battery has been dragging for about 2 weeks. I am about to leave for Rocoes chili challange and something is telling me to go buy a battery before getting stranded in Lakeland. I guess I will use my tender more often.
