    a couple weeks ago, I ordered on those Battery Tender Jrs.
    It came yesterday.
    At the same time I ordered an Emgo Handlebar-Mount Cigarette Lighter that came today.
    I'm mounting the lighter and I'm gonna use it for a power outlet for Charging things like my phone and GPS.
    I've also wired a power cord to one of the adapter plug that came with the battery tender so I can just plug it in at the handle bars when I pull into the garage and park my bike.
    I think it will make it less likely that I'll for to unplug it before I try to back my bike out.

    That's the one.
    I have another one I use to keep my small 12V AGM battery for my Kayak FishFinder/GPS charged but it just a Harbor freight El Cheapo.

    I use a battery tender Jr., too. Worth every penny. Never thought to carry it on the bike, though. Good idea.

    It's supposed to be water resistant and it's behind my windshield.
    Not many places on an FXD to put stuff like that.
    On the other hand, I don't ride in the rain much.
    Being in Ca. even here on the CenCal coast there just isn't so much rain that I have no choice. Seldom rains for more than one day at a time.
