If you have a known good tender (it works on your Ultra) and it doesn't "work" when plugged into the Goldwing then there is clearly something wrong with the Goldwing. Assuming the Goldwing starts, indicating the battery isn't stone dead, then my guess is you don't have a complete circuit on the tender lead; ie, broken wire/terminal, or blown fuse. A battery is a battery and the tender lead is an SAE connector that is standard throughout the entire industry, it's not unique to either HD or Honda.

I've used the one I got with my HD on my Corvette and travel trailer multiple times without issues.

True, but the pigtail will still show 12 volts if the ring terminals were inadvertently reversed on the battery posts. Most modern battery tenders won't initiate a charge if the circuitry detects reversed polarity.
