I keep my bike in my attached unheated garage. It is about 35-40 degrees in there. I have never used a battery tender. I do try to ride even in the winter, but sometimes the bike sits for weeks at a time. But the battery has never failed to start the bike. And the battery is original. 7 years old now and still working great

The leads they give you to hard wire to the battery come in handy as a power source. Cut the spare leads they give you, splice them onto a cigarette lighter, and use it to charge your cell phone/iPhone/Navigation.

That's such a good idea I went to Ebay and found out they sell commercial versiosn cheaper than I could buy the parts and make one. I'm going to order one now.

80 bucks sounds like deal if you don’t have to remove the batteries to use the tender. Dose it come with leads long enough to reach 4 bikes?

Question for the OP. Not to familiar with some of those older bikes but I know some older cars used a 6 volt system. Is that the case with any of these?
