Has anyone found a discreet place to put their Battery Tender leads yet? I'd rather not have the end hanging out all the time if possible. I don't run heated gear, etc., so I'd like to tuck it away when not in use.

PS: Come on Sargent, build that seat!

Get a Powerlet socket, appropriate bracket (an "L" bracket mounted off the rear passenger peg hanger where it attaches to the subframe, with the socket in the top of the hanger's "v" would be clean) and an SAE to Powerlet adapter and simply charge through the Powerlet port wired to the battery.  And obviously, the socket is useful for more than just charging.

Eastern Beaver is a good source for all the parts you'd need.

Here's how I have one mounted on my Tuono, which is damned near invisible if you're not looking for it and I suspect that having yours "inside" the footpeg hanger would be even less obtrusive

Seat is flexible enough that I just tuck it back in between the seat and tank when I'm not using it.

Got the spot. Along the right side there's a space between the battery box and the subframe that's just big enough to push the SAE connector through. It hangs down right above the shock, and tucks away neatly when not in use. My wife has our camera, so no pics for now.

PS: Spun the motor up to 10k yesterday merging onto the 205....oooooohhhhhhyeaaaaaahhhhh!!

I sent my stock seat off to Sargent and had them rework it. So far only about 40 miles on it but it feels much better so far. true test will be at least 80 - 100 straight miles on it since that's when the burn started to happen for me. I'll try and put some miles on it and get back with pictures by the end of the week.

I haven't put my battery tender leads on yet. I was thinking about running it through the gap between the undertail and the battery box and using a cable tie to secure it to the regulator harness.
