My r1100s arrived on thursday night, had a 20 mile ride today for the first time, can see me taking some time to gel, but Im sure I will.

hard wire a flying lead to the battery terminating just uner the seat area with a suitable female connector. Wire your battery tender with a suitable male connector and then just plug it in. Worked for me, I always kept the bike on charge and the original battery lasted 11 years before letting me down on a trip to Ireland.

I always used an Optimate until about 4 years ago when I bought an Oxford solar charger. The Optimate lives in a drawer now and the solar charger is always on the bike (R1200S) when it's at home.
(Famous last words) the battery's been fine - it was in the bike when I got it 5 years ago and obviously wasn't a new battery then.
