As far as the negative point is concerned, apart from a non insulated point, what part of the bike would you recommend for the - connection? Any areas that you would advise to keep away from?

Looking at putting the kit onto my 02 GS.
Cheers.

I just have the positive point fitted, I use the footrest for the earth lead, easy
not used them in anger yet though, but it has come in handy for connecting a proper battery charger though.

Ordered the parts from BMW in the end for £10:48.
I was awaiting delivery of something else from them so did not have to pay any extra P+P. Otherwise it would have been an extra £2.

BMW part numbers :

61137671355 Bracket
61137671354 Terminal Screw
61137672395 Protection Cap
07119931050 Flat Washer

Motorworks want £11:50 plus P+P. Their part number is POA71354.
