RL...did your Battery Tender come with alligator clips? If so, you can just plug the clips into your pigtail coming from the bikes battery and attach jumper cables to the clips. (I own a Schumacher Maintainer and this tip saved me on an evening out last Winter.
)
Just make sure you invert the color scheme of the clips. In other words, the clip's NORMAL +RED+ is now -BLACK- due to the harness being inverted...
Essentially, once your clips are attached to the pigtail, you'll want to attach the +RED+ jumper cable from the help vehicle...to your NORMALLY -BLACK- clip. The same goes for the -BLACK- from the help vehicle...it goes to your NORMALLY +RED+.
I hope I've clarified this process well...
HTH!
