The harness comes with it's own fuse and is meant to be connected directly to the battery.

Tender & heated gear should be hooked up straight to the battery.

And there is a hole in the right rear fender which is a natural place to poke the connection out of.

Maybe that hole is intended to be a vent for battery gasses? As you stated, I cannot see it being critical for breathing.
