    Hi all just brought myself an Oxford optimiser and curious where people hide the charging plug, at the min it's just cable tied on to the rear of the back foot pegs.

    I routed mine so that the plug is under the pillion seat out of sight...meant removing the rear cowl and some brackets in order to route the cable, but worth the effort.

    Yep, mines under the seat. Where the lug for the seat sits, just make sure you file it out a little so the lug does not crush the wire when the seat is in place.
    As for removal of the rear cowl, I didn't. I just cut soldered and crimped it.

    Once you have it under the seat. I got another connector soldered a 12v socket on it and I can plug it in to the tail that comes off the battery for phone charger etc. Simply unplug when not in use or engines not running.

    I'll take sume pics and post them if you need them? :)


    Just a thought

    Yes. It will charge, but remember and unplug it when the engine is off
