Look up your {M} and read across
The point of the table is that you should not have to read the page. Find your model, read the last column, order.
One machine, and it is unlike everything else here. The LiveWire is a Type 2 motorcycle with a CCS socket for rapid charging, and the socket lives centrally on top of the tank under a hinged faux filler cap.
What actually separates one {M} from another
A British house gives one phase, so roughly 7.4 kW is the ceiling however a brochure is worded.
The number that matters is 1.4 kW, which is far below anything else on this site. which a 16 amp cable handles with room to spare A 32 amp lead will not charge it any faster, because the onboard charger is tiny by car standards and the battery is small to match.
What that means in practice is that the Type 2 lead is for overnight or all-day charging, and the CCS socket is what you use if you actually need to get somewhere. On a motorcycle that division is sharper than on a car, because there is no petrol engine to fall back on.
The tank-top socket is the other thing to plan around. A cable approaches it from above rather than along the side of the vehicle, and the machine is short, so the run from a wall box is about as forgiving as it gets. The weight of a 32 amp cable resting on the tank is worth a thought, which is another argument for the lighter 16 amp lead.
Picking a length for your driveway
Think about where the car actually sits rather than how big it is. A short car parked badly can need more cable than a long one parked well.
Five metres is plenty for a motorcycle parked near a charge point. Ten metres exists for a bike kept at the back of a garage or down a side passage.
The build, and where to look next
These are all the same cable with different ends. Tinned copper, moulded IP67 connectors, a flexible cold weather jacket, two years of warranty, free next working day delivery.
Skip the model pages if you already know the connector: the Type 2 to Type 2 charging cable covers every Type 2 Harley-Davidson LiveWire Charging Cable here, and the universal cables page has lengths from 5m to 20m.
Harley-Davidson LiveWire charging cable questions
What does a LiveWire charge at?
About 1.4 kW on AC, which is very low by car standards. A 16A lead is already more than the machine can draw.
Is a 32A cable worth buying?
It will not charge the bike faster and it is heavier to rest on the tank. A 16A lead is the sensible choice.
Where is the charging socket?
Centrally on top of the tank, under a hinged faux filler cap.
Can the LiveWire rapid charge?
Yes, it has a CCS socket, and on a motorcycle that is the option worth using when you need range rather than convenience.
Which length should I order?
Five metres for a bike parked near the charge point. Ten if it lives at the back of a garage.
