Tom, I think your caps lock key is stuck on

If I were hooking up a battery tender pigtail, I'd just wire it straight to the battery and be done with it. But in the case of accessories like GPS or Autocom or the like, you really want a fused power source and you really should have it wired through a relay so it shuts off power to the accessories when the bike is of, so you can forget about it.

Two products are well regarded for this, among others: BlueSea and Centech.

ElectricalConnection also sells one:

EasternBeaver also sells kits and related items:

Tip: Buy a spare relay.
