Jumper posts

[Joel K-Man]

When I got my bike, I had to jump it off to start it ( the battery was shot). So here is what I did.

On the battery cover on the right side, I drilled two 1/4 inch holes 4 inches apart just after the place where the cover angles at the front. I put a bolt in each one, double nutted, with the bolt heads on the inside of the cover. Then I made two cables out of 12 guage red and black wire about 10 inches long, put terminals on each end and attched them to the bolts. The other ends went to the battery terminals, the red wire to positive and the black to negitive. When I finished them, I attached two large wire nuts to the protruding bolt shafts on the outside of the cover, a red nut on pos. and a black one on neg. Now if I ever need to boost the bike from a car for some reason, I don't have to remove anything and it takes almost no time at all. Just unscrew the wire nuts, clamp on the cables and bust it off. I did use it before I changed the battery out later on, and it works like a charm.
