Why you need to be fancy about it? Run speaker wire across if you want, you only need 12V at a couple of amps if that.


Just check your charging system is OK to be safe, only a multimeter and 5 minutes job.

If in same situation again just stick the battery on charge for a few hours every fortnight and it will be fine.

Just ride the bike everyday , ive never needed a replacement battery on the sv in 3 years and the 40000 miles of ownership. I knew there was at least one con of being a summer rider.
