Thanks. I was just answering the previous question.
I have only used my tender once when I was away for 2 months and the bike was left standing and I didn't want a flat battery seeing as the nearest BMW dealer is in Hamilton. The harness was installed to run my intercom to specifically to get rid of the static interference using the Canbus. It did help but not as much as I would have liked.

The static is not the Canbus. I have found it comes from the battery earth. Never earth intercom etc off the battery use the frame of the bike and make sure all cables and equipment are at least 50mm away from the battery earth.
