    I know there is a topic about this somewhere,but I could be looking for days,so.........

    My bike came with the "Harley Davidson battery harness", which is just a fly lead that allows you to connect a battery charger without pulling the seat,or the battery out of the bike.

    Is the connection on this "Harley Davidson battery harness" a standard sort of a plug fitting ? Or am I going to have it invest in a "Harley Davidson type" charger to be able to take advantage of this fly lead ?

    do you have a pic of this connection?

    I have 2 different styles of trickle chargers (both non harley davidson) and they both use the exact same plug as each other.

    Narva connector, 

    Part number 56292BL Weatherproof harness 2Way 16 Amp rating. cable length 270 mm.

     

    As steamer says, if you upgrade the 3 amp fuse in the circuit, you can use the plug for a power supply when not using it for charging.

    Locate a standard cig lighter plug in a suitable place and plug it in so it can be used for phone charger, GPS, whatever.

     

    I have run a velcro strip under the electrics side cover and simply attach/detach the double cig lighter plug when and if needed.

    Comes in handy.

    Exact same plug as both of mine have, I run my plug under the seat up to between the tanks then when I need it I just pull it out from under the leather tank strip and plug it in.

    Ive got the same plug on my bike, but will be ripping it out soon to replace with the one that came with my trickle charger... Of course it was bloody different!
