From: Schmoe on 18 Jul 2010 11:25 Still pouring the Bloody's, running out of celery so better hurry up. Today's 20 minute project will be running the Gerbing battery harness onto the frame. Where on an Ultra do you run the harness through/to and where do you tie the coax end plug? -- #128 KOTFAQ's http://www.rmhfaq.com

Most folks I've seen just have it hanging out the left side like the pigtail for a battery tender, towards the front of the seat. If you have a permanent mount controller, like on my bike, I have the end of the cable mounted in the tank dash panel so it appears as a jack. -- Fins BS#221 AH#135 2007 FLHTCU Cats almost always blink when hit in the head with a ball-peen hammer.

I was going to do that, I think Bob does it have way but also thought that since I've got the rider backrest, I could bring them up through there and either store them in the backrest pocket (wires hanging in the back though) or keep it pushed in the hole and pull them out for use. > Cats almost always blink when hit in the head with a ball-peen hammer. I don't think our cat blinks ever. Maybe I'll try that ball-peen. It's been pissing me off for years. -- #128 KOTFAQ's http://www.rmhfaq.com

I had all of my connections just hanging out loosely under the seat, direct from the battery for easy access. So YOU bite me! Never had a problem for 13K miles, with many at 18 degrees below! Of course, I only used the HD/Gerbing Gloves, and a battery tender.

Can't speak for the Ultra, but on our Road Glide I just run 'em up through the slot in the seat for the backrest. Puts mine just to the rear left, & hers to the front left. Plenty of wire on the controler to reach. The other advantages are; no holes to drill, easy storage, & with an adaptor you have two ready to use Battery Tender connectors that don't go bad every third time you use 'em.
