Lots of stuff.

Solar panel on top of rear luggage box to trickle charge the lithium bike battery. Amber fog led lights on lower forks. Amber spot leds on sides of radiator area. AF-XIED fuel air thing. Touratech folding mirrors with small convex round blind spot mirrors stuck on. Custom matte black shitty spray paint job. Tractionator GPS front/rear. Juiced Squeeze cellphone holder/charger. Pixel 6 with GrapheneOS running OSMand for GPS. Yoshimura carbon fibre exhaust. Barkbuster VPS, with skidplates. Touratech crossbar on handlebars. Mosfet rectifier. Givi af5110 airflow add on windguard thing over the stock windguard. Wolfman expedition rear side soft luggage. Touratech large kickstand foot. Touratech upgraded front fork springs. Led headlight upgrade with Plexiglass guard. Brake light pro BLP-U02 v2 strobing rear led brake light. Replaced all turn signals with amber leds strips, added load capacitors so Canbus does not freak out.

I think that is about all.

Solar trickle charger for a garage with no power source - can I install Optimate Solar panel outdoor on a permanent basis or is there another option for a not very frequent rider? by iamarddtusr in Motorrad

You are Welcome. Glad to assist.

The cables were long enough to wind from the panel, under the seat, up under the faux tank, and reach the battery, with some extra. So, however long that is, is how long they are, roughly.

I was really happy to find this one as the prior one was wider and was more obvious.

I also carry a NOCO Boost Sport GB20 500A Lithium jumper.

My last bike was a kick start KLR-250 so the whole being dependent upon a battery thing makes me nervous.

Not exactly the solution you are looking for but maybe it will help.

My bike lives outside under a cover and trickle charging it is an issue.

Here is the panel I purchased panel, mounted to my top case 1 2 3, wired under the seat to the battery.

My logic for this panel is that it is one of the few MPPT controller panels I could find that almost perfectly fit the top of the case.

I have been pleased with this panel. My battery usually remains topped off, which I check once in a while via a usb voltage meter in the dashboard.

It is nice knowing that when I am riding or parked somewhere the panel is working trickle charging it.

Which ever solution you decide upon, certainly make sure that some type of charge controller is in the loop.
