OP..... That's a solid location.....

However, I'm in the camp of trying to keep it unseen.....

I routed mine out the bottom of the side cover. It's barely noticeable when not hooked up to my battery tender. Although it's "loose", it has chafing protection on the cord that holds it in place, and it's really not hard at all to connect & disconnect...

You could have at least squared it up, the whole off angle thing's an eyesore.

I tuck mine away under the side cover. Only time I put my bike on the tender is during the winter or if I know it will sit for a few weeks. Really isn't any need to keep it on the tender every time it's parked.

Looks wwaaaay better. And yep, thanks to BarneyBoy. I ordered the same one but am going to mount it to one of my heat shields - the plastic deals under the seat - or somewhere.

I hate those stupid shields. First thing I took off when I brought my new bike home. They don't work and are only a political stunt by H-D to shut up the "it's too hot" naysayers. And besides, I like being able to see all of the rear rocker covers on my scoot's engine 👍🏻

Could be the best $20 you ever spent. Looks much better.

I take it you did not drill holes in the fascia. Mounted using the oval hole, eh? Don't blame you for not wanting to drill holes!!
New set up looks good too!!
