Wiring in aftermarket indicators?

[steve mac]

I need to replace the shocking aftermarket indicators that the previous owner fitted to my bike.

I've got some 'E' marked Motrax one's but obviously they don't come with the snap-in connectors that are fitted to the standard Suzuki items - just a bullet type connector.

Can anyone give me any pointers on the best way to go about this? I know the basics of wiring but I'm no sparky...

Cheers, Steve.

Just get some male/female connectors of your choice & fit them that way ;)

Any idea whether it's possible to source a male connector to match the existnig Suzuki female connector that's attached to electrics unit?

And soldering or twist-and-tape, any recommendations?

Cheers, Steve.

I could never find connectors the same... Chop the Suzuki ones off your old indicators and solder them to the new ones- use heat shrink insulation as well to keep the joint dry. They're too exposed for twist and tape.

And leave a lot of wire on the connectors, there's a good chance you'll be replacing the indicators again in your riding career.

Thanks for the replies, though I haven't used a soldering iron since I was 14 years old.

This should be fun.....

Easy enough, just don't use your petrol tank as a rest :)
