EXACTLY what happened to mine about a month ago, although I was only an hour from home. All I had on me at the time was my Swiss Army Tinker pocket knife, but fortunately that has a phillips screwdriver on it and I was able to tighten the positive terminal enough to get home. After getting home, I put my tool kit back into the bike! LOL!

My hard bags are held on by half-loop-handle style cam lock fasteners and the positive cable was to the rear of the bike, out from under the side cover. The swiss knife was just small enough to fit under the shock between the battery and the rear tire to tighten the positive terminal bolt/screw.

Gotta look into these half loop thingy's. Unfortunately the HD batteries have the pos. on the right but even if it was on the left guaranteed the problem would be on the ground/left.

I have the HD branded gel-cell battery. The way it's sitting in the tray on my bike has the positive terminal towards the rear of the bike, the negative towards the front and both towards the inside/midline of the bike. That's the way it was mounted when I got it.
