Just wondering what you guys recommend for distributin 12v for all the accessories available these days?

Using non-ferousmetals that are exposed to the elements is a waste of time as they'll rust in no time. I guess a yacht chandler would be a good place to start?

What type of alternator is fitted to the Atom? Usually alternators have stacks of capacity to produce what's needed whilst the engine's running without putting a drain on the battery.

Just interested in comments on this subject.

BMW bike sockets. Good enough for 100k on a bike, they'll get by on an Atom. Available from Chilli, Widder: pretty much the standard on bikes.

If I get Simon to fit one, will he use the quality BMW type or one that'll rust in 5 minutes?

I bought it and sent it to him. If you type "heated waistcoat" into Google, find the Chilli page (something like www.calamander.co.uk ) and buy one there, but have it sent direct to Simon.

You want it positioned vertically, somewhere not in the way of the gearlever or your arm.
