Where are you folks routing your pig tail?
My 2017 XL1200C comes equipped with a pig tail to connect a battery tender. It's located under the battery cover. When I first got the bike the sales guy cut the zip tie holding it in place and just left it dangling near the passenger peg. When I brought it in to have work done on it they placed it back under the cover once more. The cover is a pain in the *** to open and I like to have it where I can get at it easier to plug in the tender without having to open the cover. Where are you folks routing your pig tail for easy access?

Mine is exactly like this. But if you do this way make sure you tuck it away. I rode it awhile not tucked and it wore the black off on the head.

The cable on my bike exits the battery cover from the bottom.
Also compared to the bike in the picture the breather pipe from the tank on my bike is not behind the cover.
So I used a Velcro strap to hold the plug to the breather pipe and a cable tie to hold the cover to the breather also.
I notice in your picture you don't have a cover to put on the plug when it is not in use.

Secured it to oil tank
Ran the wires through loom connect to battery then using some Loctite cement attached to back side oil tank on left easy access and plug in and unplug. Mine is a C tek and has easy clip in plug. Have one on other bike secured to back side oil tank under ignition switch. Wires are not hanging down and hidden out of view
