Not a trickle charger , but a battery maintainer, such as a Battery Tender, 
which switches itself off when the battery is charged. Leave the battery in 
the bike and connect the battery Tender via the accessory receptacle. (you 
can get a male plug from Triumph. If you get the polarity wrong, the battery 
tender will let you know)
Short periods of "tickover" are useless, possibly harmful. David Collins, San
