How do you charge a battery on a 2006 harley-davidson sportster 1200 custom?

the bike should be equiped with a battery tender attachment hidden just under the lower left hand side of the gas tank. once you find it just hook up the battery charger with the battery charger attachment and your ready to go. Otherwise you can purchase a battery charger with tender attachment at Sears for $19.95 and hook up the battery tender to the battery yourself if it didn't already come with one. I have a 2006 883 and just found it two days ago, it came with it.

Any car charger will do. I recommend that you use a trickle charger rather than a jump charger. Also, look into a Battery Tender which will not only charge your battery at a proper pace, but you can leave it plugged in an the Battery Tender will maintain your battery for you so that it never becomes low again.

No, you can leave it on for about 12 ours or overnight. You could also buy a Battery Tender for about 30 to $40 and not have to worry about leaving it on for tool long. (I use one, and I have no interest or affiliation with Battery Tender.)
