It takes a European DIN male plug that is used on all(?) European bikes. I can tell you my BMW and Rocket take this plug. You can buy them from the dealer or Amazon. I got this pic off Amazon that enables you to charge the bike with trickle charger. Do a search on Amazon to see all the different
options available.

Officially, it's the ISO 4165:2001 plug, but it also goes by the names DIN, BMW, Powerlet, Hella, and Merit.

There is a Triumph branded Optimate trickle charger that comes with the Adapter. I bought it from Triumph Cleveland at the same time I bought the power port. I'm pretty happy with the setup. I just leave the charger plugged in all the time (pulls almost no power when in standby) and when I pull into the garage, I just reach over, grab the power cord and plug it into the new port.

If you can find the adapter elsewhere, no reason to go with the Triumph branded charger... you can buy an Optimate off Amazon for cheaper.

BTW.....I have a Battery Tender for my BMW that I've used for years. I simply plug the DIN plug into a socket on the frame of the bike that came
standard.
However, I tried plugging that same cord into the DIN socket on the windshield support frame near the handle bars (Rocket) and it doesn't work. Argh
Turns out that DIN socket is ONLY operable when the bike is ON. Otherwise, it's dead and will not charge the battery. Appears it's only good for
powering accessories while riding.

I prefer the Rocket's layout to the Tiger, where the handlebar socket is always powered and the side socket is hot-on-run. I don't know what Triumph was thinking. Why would I want my mounted accessories like NAV and camera to always drain power? I have to unplug them or use a plug with an integrated switch (and not forget to toggle it).

You could try your finger. I use a 90-degree DIN for my heated clothing.

Making the apply with an ignition on wire.
