Don't think I really noticed this 'plug' before, but does it happen to be a plug-in for the battery charger cables?

It runs up under the battery cover. I have my battery cover mounted very "snug" (so it won't fall off) and I don't want to remove it just to check on this connector.

If it is a connector for the charger cables, then it's the neatest thing I've seen since sliced bread.

I ride year round, and every Harley I've owned required removing the seat each evening during the winter to hook up the charger.

 

Yes, it is the battery maintainer plug!

 

What will HD think of next......

I'm impressed.. LoL

 

Yup, it plugs right into a 110V AC "Battery Tender" that maintains a constantly topped-off battery and IS the greatest thing since sliced bread!

I've got one of the good Deltran Waterproof Battery Tenders that I use in the winter months, and they are great, but I hated coming back from a run, freezing cold, and then have to mess around with removing the seat to hook it up.

Then the next day you had to mess with installing the seat again before you could ride.

This 'external plug' is GREAT, and will sure save a lot of time AND cussing. LoL..

 

Does anyone know if this is a HD accessory? I got excited when I saw this post and ran out to look at my 05 1200 C but it doesn't have one. I think it's great. I know on my BMW I was able to just plug in the tender and would love to be able to do it on my Sportster.

 

Now that is interesting....

After discovering this little jewel I just assumed it was something that came 'stock' with my '05 1200C.

 

HD sells a battery tender that comes with the quick plug to attach to the battey....onl.y way to go.

 

Thanks for the reply Spike. I'll most certainly get one.

 

Hell, I don't think it gets cold enough in Houston to have to worry about it. Just ride all year guys, that works too!
