Get you home.

Touring season here this may help get you home.

If the bike comes to a stop no lights, nothing from the starter
its odds on its a problem in the charge circuit failed regulter
ect. (if the batterys knackered this don't work)
If someone with you swap the charged battery for the flat one
(you are going to have to bump the bike with the flat battery)
Avoid using the starter and turn off or take out the headlight bulb, you should get around 100miles from the charged battery
running ignition circuit only.
Meanwhile the other bike is charging the flat battery so you
can repeat the proccess.

Re: Get you home.

Used this one on a softail some years ago
With the vibration the battery post broken of so the mains wire is waving about in the air.

Walk up the road or hardshoulder within 100yards you will find
a bit of broken plastic car trim with a self tapping screw.

Use a small screwdriver to make a starter hole in the lead at
top of the battery post, use self tapping scew to fix wire
directly onto lead post.
