It was a squeeze! I don't know how other people have done it but I found cable-tying the adapter under the ignitions switch mount works well, and taking the negative from the frame definitely helps :smile2:

What's an Opitmate?

What's an Opitmate?

Optimate is a battery trickle charger for those of you who have yet to master a search engine. I added a CTEK charger to mine. Its a bit of a fight to make it look tidy, but not impossible.

I just bought the hella to trumpet optimate adapter and plug it into the aux socket, dealer didnt want to fit the optimate lead to the battery as it was a tight squeeze with all the other crapola i have hanging off it

My charger plug is on the left side just under the throttle body and is hardly noticeable if you don't know it's there!

 

[Bobber-Bomb]

It fits really neatly under the ignition switch, and I’m happy with it.

But just out of interest where is the aux socket?

Motorcycle of Dulles (MOD) here in Northern Va fitted one for free, so was on there when I picked it up. They do it as a courtesy for all their bikes. I may relocate it though as it's zip tied to the frame.

Yeah, Jack Lilley are fitting them as standard as getting to the battery is a bit more awkward on these.

Interesting. Are they fitting optimate or the Triumph version?
PS no battery on my lamby. :nerd:

 

[Bobber-Bomb]

The Triumph version is an Optimate.

The Triumph version is an Optimate.

Thanks.
