Yes that is my thread :-)

I wanted to connect some accories directly to the battery, and basically
  • Removed the two bolts by the rear of the tank
  • Remove the grey side plastic (8 bolts)
  • Remove the grey fairing parts (4 bolts)
  • Remove black plastic below the tank (6 bolts)
  • Remove the 2 big bolts ons the side below the tank that fixates the tank to the frame (and takes the side load of crashes)
  • Remove the CDI connection cables

Then i could move the tank enough backwords to remove the plastic arround the lock and access the battery terminals - but not enough to remove the battery

If just for charging i would also use the other points, but i have also fitted a socked for a charger below the seat.
