A battery tender style plug on the right rear under the frame rail (the brake fluid fill is above it)? Mine has a 7.5 amp fuse in it and goes straight to the battery. I was thinking of bumping it up to a 15 or 20 amp to run my heated vest and gloves. I have a dual thermostat that has that battery style power connector. Just wondering if others have seen it?

Mine certainly hasn't got one Unless of course you are referring to the brake light switch connection that is in the same area? |

Nope not the light switch. A 'pigtail' to connect battery tender style things to the battery. Dealer installed maybe? Just saves me from buying one to run the heated stuff. Course mine was built this month, not sure if it matters? |

Mine came with a battery tender outlet. Connected directly to the battery. It was dealer installed. Not an option, just a nice touch by the dealer. They do this on other bikes sold there also. |

The two I've seen and one I've test rode have had them. Maybe it's dealer specific? My dad just bought a Street Rod at the beginning of the summer and it has one as well. |

The bikes are not shipped from the factory with the battery tender harness. We have installed them on every new bike since 2002. Since the bike is shipped with the battery disconnected, it doesn't take any additional time to just install it at the time of the prep and the harness only costs around $5.00. Had the dealer informed you it was there, he might have earned the five bucks back through your purchase of a battery tender! |

Actually the salesman pointed it out. I was like cool, I can run my heated clothes. Haven't needed at battery tender yet, I just ride around town 1-2 times a month when it's too nasty to use the bikes for commuting chores. |
