I have 120000 miles on my fatboy and about 8k on my 08 Ultra. I have never needed a tender...Maybe up in the colder climates... Any tech guys out there with an opinion?

Harley sells the Junior model for more than you can buy the real deal....

Check out Competition Accessories -- quite often you can get the Battery Tender Plus for less than $40...currently at $34.99

http://www.compacc.com/search.cfm

There is also now a two bank model, but you could buy three regular for about the same price.

Battery Tender stands behind their products as well--no hassle replacement if one goes south...
