I have a couple of extra connections to the battery in my Triumph Tiger. The additional thickness from the leads means the battery bolts are just a hair too short to thread into the little rectangular bolts in the battery terminal.
Previously I've levered them up with a toothpick but it's always a pain.
I recently had it in for valve clearance check (among other things) and behold my mechanic fixed the battery bolt frustration with two 1/2" long pieces of clear tubing inserted under the rectangular nuts. (The photo will be more clear than my explanation!)
