jblackbird2000 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 So after my last bout of electrical problems, I've decided that I should start using my battery tender more regularly, especially with the colder weather coming up. But because I'm lazy, I hate taking my seat off and using the clips on my battery terminals. I would like to start using that fused wire that comes ready to install on the terminals. However, I can't seem to find a good spot to route the wire so it's convenient and out of the way. Here's a pic of the wire that I'm talking about. It's the one in the foreground of the pic. Where to put the thing? Anyone have any good suggestion? Thanks, Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my CB900 I have a cigarette lighter type socket that I plug the tender into since the seat is a PITA to remove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99Birdman Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Mine's routed such that the plug lays just above the grab handle in the cowl. Easy access through the cowl openning and out of the way when not in use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I have mine routed out through the little gap between the Corbin and the tank on the left side of the bike. It fits well there, and I can push it under the seat just a bit when it's not in use, yet still be able to pull it out for hookup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblackbird2000 Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 Thanks for the replies folks. I like both the seat method and the rear cowl spot. I'll play around with both of those and see what works best for me. Ray(milehi)- Where do you tuck the cord in when not in use? And Damn mrdap! Very nice setup! Thanks for posting the pics.

OZDave Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Are the brand name battery tenders the best or are some of the knock offs as good? How long can you leave them on the battery, weeks, months? Seems like a very good idea. mrdap, I am jealous as hell. You can't be married surely?
