keeping charged over the winter...

I just added two wires to my battery. I am sick of having to take the
seat off to service my battery.
I still have the original March 2004 battery in my KLR so I still have
to take off the seat to add water.
But, now I have two well insulated wires to charge the battery with or
to float charge it. I just ran some monster cable I had laying around
with insulated crimp fittings from the battery to where I can easily
access them. One is about a ft long the other 1/2 a foot(negative).
Since my original battery still works well, I will just wait to replace
it with a maintenance free battery.
Too windy to ride today.

Happy Holidays

I have trickle charger leads on the batteries of all three of my KLR's, which are tucked between the top of the side panel and seat. Ever consider using the HD velcro on the seat pan to hold it down? Makes it easier to get to the fuses without taking everything apart.

Would you waste a highly capable IED on a single target on a motorcycle
when you could take out a couple of trucks or a carrier?
