Battey Leads for Tender & Heated Gear
#1
#3
I went back and forth last year trying to solve this problem. Harley does in fact sell an adapter that will work. It's one of the adapters for connecting the new single plug gear into the old dual plug gear. Ultimately, I didn't like the extra length of the adapter, and just re-wired the on/off switch that came with the vest liner.

I was going to do the same thing. However then I wired the heated gear outlet direct to the battery, ran the cable through the slot in the seat for the back rest. During a 3800 mile trip out west it worked really well, the cable was easy to reach when needed. When it wasnt needed it can be tucked away cleanly.
My battery lead is located under the seat near the engine.

There is a 6 inch adaptor available from HD that allows you to use one pigtail for both the Electric gear and the Battery Tender.
I installed the pigtail from the Heated Gear, and the adaptor allows me to add the 6 inch lead and connect the Battery Tender.
Controller Adapter Plug
Use this plug to connect the two prong plugs to the new coaxial plug.

Battery Tender and Heated Gear
I used the "Pants Adaptor" that HD Gerbings sells. It has a female coaxial plug rather than a male like the "control adaptor". If you can make the connection, either one will work.
By the way, HD Gerbing says explicitly in the manual not to use with the Battery Tender lead. They work fine. Just use the correct fuse for your application.

I have the battery tender without the HD logo but I believe the two pin (trailer) connector is the same. I have Gerbing gloves with the coax plug. I went to Radio Shack and made a 3" adapter to plug the coax into the trailer plug. Other than dropping it once when getting off my bike it works fine using the battery tender plug for heated gear. It connects directly to the battery like the Gerbing instructions only I don't need two connectors hooked to the battery.
