Hook it up every time I get off bike. Battery always at peak charge that way. Have on all 3 vehicles.

I use mine all the time during the winter. The one I got has the hard wire for my bike, and also came with the aligator clip connector. I use it on the 4-wheelers, riding lawn mower....everything. Works great! You should be able to pick one up for about 39 bucks.
Well worth it!
On my bike, I just ran the plug into the hump area, makes it easy to get to...

I rotate my Waterproof 800 Battery tender between the BUSA, GL1800 GW,  KAW  KLR 650, and Seadoo RXP (The BT web site sells additional quick connects), In the last ten years I've only had to replace one batt, that's when I starter using battery tenders. Use a Batt Tender + on my dual battery system on my boat as the charging system on the OB motor can't keep up - stays plugged in 24/7 keeps em topped off and fresh as new with no boil out

Have to agree, the Battery Tender is a great idea for a long and healthy battery life.

Love my battery tender. I got one when one of the online retailers had a special on them last year. It's not the Battery Tender Jr., but the upgraded one. I paid something like $30 for it and it comes with a carrying case.

The battery tender is the best for the price. I use mine all year round. Keep the busa full of juice. Ride on and fast
