Exactly.
I tend to use that large allen-bolt at the bottom-left of the photo as the negative.
The adaptor simply fits onto the positive terminal on the starter-motor - allowing you to access that high-voltage positive terminal without removing the cover.
I fitted GSA engine bars years ago and, being stainless, they give a pretty good negative earth. Again, the recovery guy was impressed as he just clamped onto the left engine bar.
ok, you can use the neg clamp off the charger on the engine bars that are stainless didn,t know that its ok using stainless as a earth is it, is the black frame ok as well even tho its painted

All these years I’ve had GS’s and I never knew such a thing existed. Where can I get one ?I fitted the BMW jump-node to a 2003 Ed80 Rockster last year - drilling the cover was fine.
The 4 parts should cost about £23:

You may even get them cheaper as a kit but I don’t have a number for that. Motorworks is an alternative option.
GSA stainless bars are unpainted so electrical conductivity is very good. Painted bars won’t be the same.

After a year or so of 11XX ownership the answer is -
Locate that piece of wood you keep by your toolbox that's just the right size for propping your tank up, and insert it..
I agree with the above though, the kit approach is very neat indeed and a proper solution.
Thanks very much for your helpful posts chaps 
The factory fitted jump starter kit has a second identical jump starter post used as an earth which is attached to the cylinder head near the inlet tube

There’s a second factory option that fits direct to the battery so no need for drilling starter motor covers and ideal for RT and RS models ..

Just got my kit for this. Any fitting instructions around or is it just good old YouTube?
Remove cover
Drill hole
Fit bracket
Fit cover.
(In a nutshell)
Tbh, getting the hole in the right place is fiddly, but it does need to be as accurate as possible if you want it to be neat.
Also, take your time with mounting the bracket, iirc i couldn't figure out which way went until I'd tried it a few times.
Thank you
