Had to jump my battery this weekend and once again I was frustrated by how difficult it was to connect standard jumper cables to the tiny bike battery.

I was gonna make a set of these myself but for $20 shipped I don't see the point, materials are gonna cost me almost that. Any ideas on the quality of this thing?

Yep, that was kinda my thinking too. Expect a review here in a week or so...

I was thinking about hard wiring a cig lighter socket to the bike so I could jump with those plug into the cig lighter jumpstart batteries or something along those lines.

Tell me how those things work out.

Good timing, I just got mine today. Here's my review:

They look like they do in the pictures. They fit easily in my bike's trunk, fold up small enough to fit in a pint glass. The clips and wires look well made, and the lighter plug/socket is a good set, not one of the cheap sets that falls apart easily.

In short, exactly what I was looking for, and well worth the $20.

The only thing I might improve on is the end clamps, which have a decent amount of exposed metal; you could still short the + terminal to the bike's frame if you're not careful...though a damn sight better than car cables that's for sure.
