Battery Tender pigtail installation
#1

Before I take a stab at installing the my battery tender permanent rings on by CB1100, I was curious if anyone has any advice or suggestion on the best way to route the cable for quick hookup/disconnect?

Couldn't find a thread on this topic, but if there is one just let me know.

Thanks!

Not sure if there's a right or wrong way. Mine emerges from beneath the left side cover. I'm sure others have theirs routed differently.

There is a hole in the sub fender r/h side by the rear shock. I ran mine out there.

Permanent rings? What could be permanent. Anyway, I routed mine to stick out from under the seat right behind the upper rear shock.

That is where mine went. The hard part was putting the connections in a position that doesn't interfere with installing the tool box/plastic tray.

My Optimate pigtail was already dealer-installed under the seat when I took delivery.

I had mine routed out the left side under the silver side cover but it got chain lube on it there, so I moved it to the right side.
