This is what I did. It's out of sight but still you still have easy access to it.

Hi Vernal,
I cant seem to send you a PM despite being a member for over a month now and 7 posts... I must be doing something wrong. Anyway, my email address is AndrewTurner(at)Chevrondotcom I really appreciate your help especially as I've flattened my battery yet again with this damn keyless fob :-(

I used to use it to hook up my inflator to inflate my air mattress when I was "roughing it at the Boogie" I just cut the cigarette lighter off and spliced on a pigtail.

A bit of an old post but I have a question for some of you. Has anyone been using the factory pigtail to power heated gear? Any problems? I have a 2014 Police Electra Glide and I have the service manual as well as the police bike supplement. I can confirm that the batt tender harness shows as coming off of the 20 amp P&A fuse. So it should work but I just wanted to see what people's experience has been.

Thanks.

It's coming off of a 20 amp circuit but it should have a inline fuse with a fuse that is prob about 5 amp. Look real close to the wire to see the gauge of the wire. To be a real 20 amp circuit the wire will have to be 12 gauge.

I fo the opposite, I have the heated gear and have that wiring mounted to the battery. I bought a adaptor for the tender wite and plug the tender into the heated gear plug.
