Optimate Lead, Scottoiler

I have my optimate lead running to the left and exiting between the tank and the left hand radiator cover.

 

mine hangs out between the frame and batter cover along with the sat nav power connector

 

I poked mine through the gap between the left side of the battery and frame. After a significant amount of fishing using wire and a pair of forceps, it popped out behind the side cowl.

Amazingly the rubber socket/cap is exactly the same size as the plastic mounting on the cowl, so it lodges in and stays put...and is easily recovered when it needs to be charged.

Hard to explain, so hopefully this helps (viewed from above):

 

Ive fixed mine with a couple of black cable ties onto handlebars clutch side ,,pretty neat & unobtrusive even if I say so

 

just under battery cover with enough hanging out to connect but not too much,i put cable tie on lead under battery strap so just right amount left just behind headstock under tank/battery cover.

 

Tuck mine back under the battery cover and can still hook it out when needed, but I only use it for charging.
(Garmin sat-nav has a separate hard wired ignition-on supply)

 

Regarding Scottoiler routing, on my 2016 Speed Triple I have it routed thus






The bike was polished at the weekend, but one day of rain and it all goes to crap

 

Stop doing have a job you lot get a small bit of sheet aluminium . Bend it & drill it so it fits , then paint it Matt black and attach it to the bike on the outside with appropriate fitting.
Job done ant it will look much neater and not result in scraped fingers or taking the seat off every time
