Need source for Japanese wire connectors

#1

Post by tdmarthur »

My motorcycle wire connector kit is exhausted and I hate the US style butt connectors. Does anyone know where I can get replacement OEM style wire connectors aside from the dealer who wants a $1.00 apiece for them??
Bikes in the Stable:
81 GL1100 newly purchased @ 53K mi, doing a naked conversion (project in active progress).
91 Yam TDM 850 - bought new, now 53k mi - my main ride
79 Yam SR500 - bought used in 1980 W/ 3,000 mi in showroom condition. Put in crate after purchase and is still waiting......
78 Yam SR500 in rough shape - waiting for custom Cafe conversion - a long term and inactive project.

Somebody posted that a while ago, darned if I recall who. They had a place with a pretty good selection.
If somebody doesn't recall who posted that or they don't chime in try a search on connectors.
Maybe when we find that it should be posted in the Help section.
Enjoy life,

Here is another source:

I have had some pretty good luck with their nylon plugs and brass connectors.
