    Anyone know what size the battery terminal bolts are on a T120? I want to pop a permanent SAE charging lead on it when it arrives, and Optimate do one with M6 eyelets and another with M8.

    Good morning @learningtofly, gosh you get going early!

    Triumph fit the same battery to pretty much all the "Modern Classics": I've checked the handbooks and yours will be the same as mine.

    So I popped out to the garage and measured mine. If by "the battery posts" you mean the hex bolts (with a Cross head driver slot in the top) that clamp the cables to battery itself, they are M6.

    Which is what I expected; an M8 bolt would be a big terminal, probably moving into small car territory.

    Hope that helps:).

    That really does help, Paul, thank you - you're an absolute star!!! (Yes, I'm an early starter... I'd already been up for quite a while when I posted that.)
