Need source for Japanese wire connectors
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??

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.

Here is another source:

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