    Where do you guys run your Accumate leads? I did have one coming out just under the headstock but even with the cap on , the connections got badly corroded and I took it off. Need another one now. Sorning at the end of the month.

    I have mine coming out just under the side panels. I also put some electrical grease on the contacts and when I wash the bike I leave the rubber cap off so it can all dry out properly. I don't think the rubber caps actually keep water out.
    Edit: You could put it under the seat.

    The rubber cap came off my leads. Not sure if you can even buy those separately. I keep it tucked under the seat.

    Mine is under the seat, strapped to the frame with a tie. As you can see I don’t put the cap on...much. LoL.

    Hiyas, just about to connect this in(?) to my 2002 Triple...erm...how might I do this?

    It is so I can more easily connect up a trickle charger...

    Simply red2red and black2black on the battery?

    Or...some other method?

    Way easier and yes, red to pos, black to neg. It has a fuse in it too.

    I made a lead up, for the Scrambler, that resided under the seat, with a fuse and an Anderson Power Pole connector. On the Z a have a fag lighter type socket behind the nose fairing which I fitted primarily for use with a Sat Nav but I also use that for trickle charging.
