I have a Battery Charger Lead (SAE). This makes it simple to attach a battery tender during bike storage. The charger lead is also fused (10amp) inline. | I have a Battery Charger Lead (SAE).

Trying to figure out what wiring was already done (and removed!). There is one hole in the glove box - plugged with a rubber grommet. That one is about an inch or so. There are three holes cut into the locked compartment. The 1 1/4" bottom hole is sealed with duct tape.

Mating connectors and terminals are included so you can wire up whatever you want.

'''Electrical Connection''' used to sell connector parts, but as of this writing 2024, they only offer a cigarette lighter power plug for the ST-1300 https://electricalconnection.com/index.php/brand/honda/st1300/ This looks exactly like the broken / abandoned one I found inside the fairing on my bike. | |||
