Default Battery tender plug location

Ok dumb question. I was cleaning up and waxing my new 14 RK yesterday and I could find the battery charger harness. Anybody know where they hid it unless it wasn't installed?
Thanks

Yep, thats where it is.
I relocated one to just above the engine oil fill like older models without having to remove a cover to charge.

It is in there and on the manual too. But easy enough to find in the center, tucked away. I extended the slack and harness (by pulling on it) to the top of the cover, under the seat. Now I don't need to removed the cover to get to it.

It is in a horrible location... You have to pull your saddle bag and side cover every time you want to plug in your bike which didnt work for me. I re-routed it twords the front of the bike so it sticks out of a hole near the coil for easy access.

Just snaked mine out the front of the left side cover. It's plugged in anytime I'm not riding it.

Glad you're learning about your new ride. If you opted for the security, another good read is the H-D Smart Security System section in the manual. Comes in handy in a pinch, and find out what the dealer default numbers are if they haven't told you. You can also have the dealer 'flash' a new code on your next service visit.

mine was ziptied to the bar under the left bag. Easy to get to and you can't see it unless you're really looking.

If you could find it, why are you looking for it?
