    i just literally finished fittin mine not 30 mins ago. its easy, and the stealer will charge about 100 bucks or more to fit. i bought my battery tender from the stealers for $65.99 though

    take seat off for extra room.
    take left side cover off.
    turn ignition on, disconnect big fuse on side of battery (disables alarm).
    take fuse cover and wire plug of side of battery.
    take battery strap off (3/8 nut goes on frame, undo that first then take the top bit off).
    undo positive side of battery (careful not to touch the frame or anything, you dont want any sparks).
    slide battery out as much as possible, disconnect the negative terminal.
    put the battery tender negative clip and put the negative terminal back together.
    put battery back and hook battery strap back on.
    attach positive wires with battery tender clip.
    put the plug where you want it,put fuse back in, plug on the strap, put the cover back on, put seat back on.

     


    took me about 45 mins from start to finish, as i had to ring the dealer to find out how to get the battery out.
    my plug hangs out just in front of the cover, if you didnt know what to look for, you wouldnt know it was there. hope this helps.
