On my RT I didn't hook it directly to the battery. Instead I wired it under the seat to the auxiliary posts. Works fine there.

Remove left rear panel....it takes 5 or 10 minutes to take it off and put it back on.

* nice colour on the RS napper!!!

 

[retread]

Remove the side panel that runs past your left knee when you're on the Spyder (4 bolts); remove the left rear side panel (1 bolt in front, 3 bolts above rear wheel, 2 push rivets under seat) you're there! Get some self-stick Velcro to hold wire out of the way.

Just remember that dong that was easy compared to those of us with side hard cases on our spyders. I have the givi racks and bags (actual givi- not BRP) and it is a royal pain to get to the battery.
