Default Battery Tender question

OK, so... just bought a new battery tender for my '13 GS. Does this look acceptable? Ridiculous question I know... :rolleyes

Do you have a adapter for the accessory plug in the cabin?

Per the owner's manual the ground point for jumping the battery is forward of where you are. This is what I did and then ran a quick disconnect thru the grill.

Please excuse the 2nd grade crayon technique. I guess this is the best I can do with Windows 10.

That is just what I was looking for. Thank you my friend, really appreciate it. I saw that stud also, will separate the leads slightly and use that location. I will also wire thru the grill once I get some time. Thanks again!
