Wiring in aftermarket indicators?
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. |

Male / female connectors
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 response
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
