There have been a few threads on batteries and boosting issues, so I thought I'd show what I added to make boosting (if ever necessary) a lot easier. I have the CAMEL ADV Skidplate, which does an even better job of protecting the battery, but makes access a real pita when needed...
I built an aluminium brackets and mounted isolators, then ran 6g wire from the battery to the studs. I also moved the tender harness to there for convenience. The 3/8 and 5/15 studs also make connecting clamps much easier and give better contact. Using 6g wire also means I never have to worry about current load.

Nice, I have a Camel ADV bash plate on mine too and sometimes wonder how much I'll dread having to take it off at some point to access the battery. I presume (?) yours has a pre-wired battery tender connection underneath the seat too, for easy access you can drop it out the left side of the bike, in between the frame, and leave it there.

Mine has a couple of them, this one is from the Harley tender they gave me with the bike, its routed similar to yours...

PS I like your Corbin solo seat and passenger seat delete section - who makes that back plate where the passenger seat/luggage rack usually resides?

I built it. I was left unsupervised over the winter.... 🤷🏼‍♂️ There's a thread on it under "What have you done to your PA today" ... There's been "a few" modifications to the bike🤣

Very nice.

I would be curious to know details about the specific components you used to create the boost posts.

Thanks!

MarcS, do you have any part numbers or descriptions of the battery terminals/boost points you added? I also have the Camel ADV bash guard and dread ever having to take it off to access the battery in an emergency...

Thanks in advance

They are Techspan "Battery Power Distribution Posts"
Red (3/8) 76-7886EA
Black (5/16) 76-7786EA
Rated for 250 amps. I used 6g wire and sealed terminal ends.
The red cap is a Grote #84-9323PK (comes in a 5 pack, so you get spares)
Cheers

Hey thanks for that!

Hey Marc, quick question for you - on your close-up photo of the boost point lugs, it looks like each of them (+ and -) have two wires connected to them. Presuming one of the wires is routed directly to the battery posts, I'm curious what the additional (second) wires are for?

Thanks -

Thanks MarcS for suggesting the add-on boost points. Finished mine today and know I won’t ever get stranded due to a low voltage battery.

Sorry for such a late reply on this..... Positive and negative from the battery, then also a 12V plug as well.
