Hi Jared, welcome to the group! Battery chargers for cars/trucks can start boiling a motorcycle battery before too long. Dave is right that it is SO convenient to have the wires of a battery tender hooked permanently to your bike.
Between motorcycles, a scooter, my riding lawn mower and my RV batter, I own about 5 battery tenders. You can find them on Amazon for as little as $16.46 with free shipping. *Paul LeBoutillier * *www.hondanighthawks.net <http://www.hondanighthawks.net/>* Honda Nighthawk Lovers Email group <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/nighthawk_lovers> On Wed, Apr 6, 2016 at 12:25 PM, Jared Clifton <jared.clif...@gmail.com> wrote: > I just bought my first bike, a 1983 Nighthawk 650.
