    A picture of my motobatt trickle charger lead attached
    At a guess would you say that the covered part of the connector is the positive ?

    Not always as that would mean the positive is uncovered on the bike.
    Best to check with a multimeter to be on the safe side.

    That's true, I've lost the battery lead but I'm going to make one. I've got two 6mm crimpsbke eyelet terminals and an inline fuse and an oximiser type make and female terminal. I'll take it up my mates place he's got a multimeter etc

    They look like a version of the bullet plugs to me, possibly the blue or red size? You could try those.
    Failing that, they use them of some kids toys. My daughter had one to charge an electric scooter, but I can't for the life of me think what they're called.

    3rd option would be to cut it off and replace with the old style Optimate connector (Tamiya plug).
