I would leave the pigtail if I were you. I bought the little Harley air compressor, and it plugs into the pigtail. The compressor has saved me and friends a couple times.
Great Show Ol'Boy, Love it. So I have two Harley scooters me-self, a 1989 XL-1200 Sporty and a 1993 Electra Glide FLHS. I wired myself two difference ways to get my bikes to start, if no plug-in juice is available, I can plug in my Jumper Cables thru my Cigar Light that is mounted on the Handle-Bar ( from my Bike to another Bike, or a vehicle battery) , or I can hook-up the Battery Charger Cable at about the same location on your Bike. Plus if all else fails, I can always drift start it, so long as I am on the top of a High Mountain road ( Like Wolf Creek Pass). So like they say "Don't get Stranded" keep that Battery alive and be a Happy Man. Dead Batteries are no fun atall. My Grand Dad would always say: " Hay Hell Grass is Cheaper". So I learnt not to say "Hey Grand Dad, where the Cow", at a very early age in life.
I love the tenders. I live in an area where it gets cld in the winter, i keep my bikes in my heated garage and i use the tender on then all the time. even in the summer when i come back from a ride, i plug in the tender. I just sold a 14 Indian Chief that had its original battery in it and it was great. I have a 2009 H-D Rocker C that is on its 2nd battery, its almost 13 years old and 2nd battery because i use a tender after every ride. I have a 21 SGS and i always plug it in. My point is, they are cheap and they work and they 100% prolong the life of your battery. Once your battery is drained (dead) its now damaged, my tenders keep my batteries at 100% all the time.
I have one I bought at Costco. I had a battery that didn't hold a charge well and needed to use mine to jump my bike in the morning during a recent road trip. Lifesaver!!
I bought the Noco charger/maintainer off Amazon but wasn't aware they have thier own connector. I converted it to the SAE connector so I can still use my USB connector on the bike. Made my own SAE jumpbox connector as well for easy jumps.
Yup S&S I really dig those teardrop air cleaners, got one on my old 91 Sporty 1200, I clean it every 2000 miles, it makes a BIG difference how good the bike runs. I have 7 yrs on a battery for a 91 Sporty, just using a tender at times. U don't suffer from idiots do you? that's cool. yup the battery has to be pretty much up b4 u use a tender if ur not gonna ride for a bit.
Instructions on clearing codes, good stuff and very helpful. Tenders, chargers, jumpers, power packs.. also very worthwhile information, thank you. All this stuff will change as technology marches on. What has lasted, and will endure forever are the bits from your grandfather.. mash on it!, and I don't have to feed it,,, simple stuff that, is the best 👍👍🍻
Awesome setup, dig it! You could always install a pull down cord reel and have it land between the bikes so you can plug things in closer to your bikes 🤷♂️ My dad always said…Don’t eat no hay 😆 Great ideas, keep doin what you’re doin 😎👍
My Dad used to say “Don’t owe me nothing”. I bought those power packs for all my kids to keep in their cars. Two of them live in Iowa and one in Michigan. Not bad to have because winters will drain a battery fast. No it doing start a bike with a blowen computer. Ask me how I know hahahahaha.
I listen to you about this stuff and more I'm so glad I got a EVO with a carburetor. LOL. When you're pockets are pretty much empty your in heaven. Not mocking it if I had the cash I guess I'd be right with you all LOL . Kinda sick of going slow 🐌 Though.
I bought a Noco last winter for the bike, the car battery took a crap so I used it three times to get it started. I left it in the car all the time so the pack was always cold so it turned over pretty slow the first try but by the the third try the pack would warm up from the high current draw and spin the motor over a lot faster and started the car. it needs to sense a min. of two volts to boost unless you push the safety bypass button then it will turn a motor over with a completely died battery or no battery at all, I know because I tried it. I was skeptical but bought it on Black Friday and was not disappointed. It doesn't make sense that they work as well as they do, now I will have to get one of those adapters, I didn't know they made them.
battery tenders when used properly work, if your battery is down on voltage it needs to be put on a charger and brought back to proper voltage then you can put the tender on. A tender will never bring a battery back to proper voltage no matter how long you leave it on the battery. i use a tender through the winter but will still put my battery on a charger and let the charger tell you the battery is good before i start the bike after sitting.
My bike is 19 years old 2002 dyna low rider with carb I love it I just 18k miles on it super sharp bike but I'm wanting a fuel injection bike may buy one in February anyway thank you for the information on that charger will probably get one
good to know ,i was going to make a harness for my new booster.went dead and i guy from out of state had a fancy little booster got me starter and had toreassemble the seat and brakets ,while trying to keep it running.
Awesome info PM. BTW for my fellow Canuks watching...... Canadian Tire has a similar jump-pack in various sizes and Brands.... NoCo included... . I have the 750 Amp MotoMaster unit for the bike, and the 1500 Amp MotoMaster unit for my Jimmy. ( Myself, I would put the harness behind the Keyed side cover.... out of sight out of mind,,, right? ). Stay Safe.
Nice Video , plus I like the trip to Advan black company, will be getting the lower light kit for the lower rad fairing. they seam to look better than some of the others I have seen.
Hey Monkey... It seems that the H-D HOG Booster is actually a Harley branded NOCO booster to begin with. It makes sense that their pigtail adapter would plug right in. I had no idea so I'm getting my '12 Road King all set up as soon as I can. Thanks for the tips! You put out great videos full of great info.
Hey ! I'm glad to see that you got it so soon. I'm glad my suggestion worked out for you :) I was really surprised when I seen you made a video on it. I'm glad to have helped you out. (It's really easy when it comes time to use it) I'm planning on meeting up with you at the meet and greet at the Beaver bar in Sturgis. Power on Mega monkey !
it trips the ABS sensor (when you do burnouts). it happens on a lot of bikes. I work for a tuning shop and when we run bikes on the dyno (including harleys) we frequently have to clear ABS codes bc the front wheel isn't spinning but the back one is.
Thanks for the tip on a proper charger/tender. I noticed you still have your plastic mid frame heat deflectors on your bike. For a cleaner look remove those and open that space up. You'll have to secure your plug wires to the frame. You will be able to actually see the nice chrome rocker box cover on the rear cylinder. Again thanks for the video.
@@ProfessionalMonkey I’m definitely thinking about it. It just chaps me that I just spent $130for 2 of HDs lithium battery tenders. Give me a a couple months and I may well change my mind.
Hi Monkey, Thanks for the videos and thanks for sharing. I see you have the harness but maybe you could pass on to your subscribers a tip from a brit. Don't have to remove the seat to jump start the battery, put the red-clip on the starter red, the one with the rubber cap, (it is full size cable and ok for starter currents). And the black to any part of the frame. Regards Bill
I would've keep it under the seat, the heat from the transmission may or may not melt it. For that reason leave it under the seat and just reach in the hole where the back rest goes and pull it out. Just my way of thinking.
Looks like you get plenty of sun for solar 12V battery charger? I use solar charges on Dyna HD, but connected it to automotive battery isolator, when I got my Goldwing an now charge two bike batteries off same solar panel! Solar panels to Charge controller, to battery isolator, to individual bike batteries vid battery cable connections! Easy!
You're right, battery tender will take forever to do anything. I also have a 40 yr old Shauer trickle charger, which finally died 2 days after watching this video! Shame on you for jinxing it, lol.
Next time remove the large fuse behind the left side cover before disconnecting the battery. Then no need to remove the ECM and having to clear any codes. See you in Sturgis.
Have u tried Love- Jugs on a bike yet?. I let the EITMS on my 14 roadking activate in hot weather then the turned fans on. within a couple minutes EITMS deactivated meaning top end was cooling
I laughed out loud when you flipped the bird. But the Noco plug is the x-connector I think it's called? There are a few other versions from other brands, I think even Harley have their own version. Now if Noco made an X-connector to USB, that would be nice!
"The ECM is a very sensitive..." *proceeds to grab bare handed touching connectors* A wool socks, shag carpet and a brass doorknob type shock will also fry electronics! Just a heads up from my own experience. Dig the videos, keep it up Brother!
I'm still riding my '72 Electraglide I bought in 1980, and I'm glad I don't have any of these modern problems, so I just subscribed.
Got an '81, all this stuff he's talking about is foreign to me.
@@MCHoodlum13
Damned sure is.
Literally and figuratively, and it's gonna stay that way.
Ride safe my brother.
I would leave the pigtail if I were you. I bought the little Harley air compressor, and it plugs into the pigtail. The compressor has saved me and friends a couple times.
I left it.
@@ProfessionalMonkey not to mention it is an integral part of the wiring harness and has been for a while ....
That setup is the way to go,to talk me into it....whoop whoop 👍
Been using battery tender on my 2 bikes for at least 20 years. No battery problems.

My '81 doesn't have a radio and its got a kicker if the battery dies.

Electrolytic Capacitors. - adding into the circuit. Cheers! PS - simple circuit to load the capacitors off a 9 volt radio and a couple of AA cells.

Great ideas, keep doin what you’re doin 😎👍
Been using Noco for a year and used it for bike & car. Great product. Had no idea about the accessories (sometimes I tell ya). Thanks for the insight!
My Dad used to say “Don’t owe me nothing”. I bought those power packs for all my kids to keep in their cars. Two of them live in Iowa and one in Michigan. Not bad to have because winters will drain a battery fast. No it doing start a bike with a blowen computer. Ask me how I know hahahahaha.

I feel your pain on the early morning starts. I work 4a-2p m-f and 4a-10a on Saturdays.
Ugh... like a zombie some days.
Every damn day, especially with a 3 yr old running around at home, and an active 11yr old with all her sports. But, the bills don't pay themselves.
And I thought I was the only one waking the chickens 🐔 up!
I’ve had the noco pack for years and I also just learned they make a harness. My credit card is smoking from all the toys I’ve seen you recommend.
I watched this on Sunday. Monday I grabbed my bike from the dealer...with a dead battery. Died 5mi up the road. Bad day.
I found your channel on Tuesday and I've been binging you since. Lol. Love the channel!
Make sure the end is covered to keep water and debris out.
Good point! One of the things I like about the Noco stuff is they have a captive cap on the end.

Good subject matter on jumper. I used 1 on my toy hauler to start my generator. Rv park lost all power in a storm. Battery was dead. Work great
Yep, same setup. You can use the adapter to connect normal battery tender to the NOCO harness to tend when needed/wanted.
My bike is 19 years old 2002 dyna low rider with carb I love it I just 18k miles on it super sharp bike but I'm wanting a fuel injection bike may buy one in February anyway thank you for the information on that charger will probably get one
I knew about NOCO but I did not know Harley had one branded for the. The code clearing trick was cool. Great video!
I just bought the whole setup. It’s AWESOME! Thanks so much for posting this video.
Learned something again!!! Just like going to school! Glen
Glad you liked it Monkey.It`s been a life saver for me in the past.Keep up the good work and video`s
Thanks again!
good to know ,i was going to make a harness for my new booster.went dead and i guy from out of state had a fancy little booster got me starter and had toreassemble the seat and brakets ,while trying to keep it running.
Gettin the job done.
Thanks.
Awesome info PM. BTW for my fellow Canuks watching...... Canadian Tire has a similar jump-pack in various sizes and Brands.... NoCo included... .

Love when I get the notification about a new video
Thanks I will check it out
Nice Video , plus I like the trip to Advan black company, will be getting the lower light kit for the lower rad fairing. they seam to look better than some of the others I have seen.
I keep a jump pack in my back. However it’s nice and easy to get to the battery on my Dyna.
Have this, had to use it and it works great...also works on cars up to 3 liters...damned 24 year old voltage regulator..wait, 24 years...
That adapter also works with trickle chargers.
I love the noco stuff. I have the 5, and the big booster. Itll jump a diesel and small enough to fit in the glove box.
Never knew that harness was available! Great option! 👍
That's awesome.

I have the 5 amp and two 1 amp noco on mine works great on my dyna and 4 wheelers
You need a wrist rocket sling shot to use on the Gardener. Lol
I keep a 10 amp Noco on my Caddy,a 3amp on my bike ,both work great.
Thanks for the tip will be getting one !👍
That's some real useful information. I am going to look into this, thank you Sir !!
Thanks Monkey, I was on the fence about getting one of these, ordered.
Hey. Good stuff. One thing. When it comes to vehicle power, ground is always first off, last on. Always. If you find me wrong, educate me please.
Thanks for the info, I’m gonna buy the set. Taking all the stuff off to get to battery terminals is a hassle!
Glade to see pig tail,for booster & charger,get rid of trickle pig tail,just update charger...thank you bro
Nice video, I need to add this stuff my bikes. Especially my 69 FLH, it sits a lot and the generator just don’t put out the amps newer bikes do.
When I bought my Sportster I didn't know about trailer mode and was wondering the whole way home why the flashers were blinking. lol
My plug rubber cap would not stay on... So I used a wire tie to keep it on. Otherwise, great accessory.
Thanks! I can sure use one of those chargers. I've had the same headache with battery tenders. I'll be looking that up for sure. Love the channel!!

Plug your jump pack into the battery tender lead hanging out of the bike
Next time remove the large fuse behind the left side cover before disconnecting the battery. Then no need to remove the ECM and having to clear any codes. See you in Sturgis.
Another great way, I am still concerned about just banging it around and would rather it not be near the battery terminals themselves.
Thanks for that posting I learnt a lot.
Question, you have mentioned paint you use, what is the name of it?
I'll need to check intone

Why does anyone do a burnout?
Which model Noco is that? I think I can use the adapter to plug right into my CVO harness.
Traction control on the burn outs Homi.
