Jez....

Left mirror, belly pan, left panel, both seat sections....left black panel by lift handle, left pannier......

This then gives access to the left side of the battery. Undo the visible terminal & the rubber restraining strap, start to slide the battery leftwards until you're able to undo the other terminal....and voila......job done....

Hope this helps.....

thanks Dutchman and there was I thinking it'd just be the middle panel over the tank . Oh well its the bosses bike so I can pass the instructions on to him. I told him he should get a 1200gs - remove front seat undo terminals and bracket then lift out battery
