Connectors and Wierd Bike Bits.
Anyone able to help me with this one.
I am looking to get connectors for the lighting system on my bike. I am currently looking at adding extra indicators (Sidelight mod) and to modify the rear light. Rather than hack my wiring to bits, I would like to put my mods inline. So anyone know of a supplier for Pointy Indicator (front and rear) and Rear Light connectors, both male and female? David |
Re: Connectors and Wierd Bike Bits.
Unfortunatly you won't get these from a dealer, as they will only sell you the connectors on the wire (which will either be the loom or indicator as well).
your best bet is a car store and see what they have, or somewhere like Maplins for their multi-block connectors, failling that you've always got bullet or spades. Cheers Mark. |
Re: Connectors and Wierd Bike Bits.
Someone did post about being able to buy the connectors for the mini-indicators rather than splicing wires.
I'm not sure if they posted where to buy them from, but apparently it is possible. Use the search :p You're good at that :p |

More a converter to use oem connectors than the connectors themslves though, I think Dave wants to add more, rather than just change the standard ones. Still useful if you can't solder. Cheers Mark. |
Re: Connectors and Wierd Bike Bits.
I know he can solder (sort of anyway) after conversations with him in MSN.
Those may be useful if he's wanting to amend wiring without butchering the stock wires. |

they crop up on ebay pretty often in huge multipacks

Re: Connectors and Wierd Bike Bits.
I bought a wiring kit from Frosts, it was about £25 but came with 10 million connectors. Nothing wrong with simple butt terminals but these look more professional. They do waterproof ones as well but they're a lot pricier- most of the OE connectors aren't waterproof anyway.

the ones baph put on look perfect. I'm doing the same thing, the flush indicators on at the mo aren't visible from the front so a sidelight indicator would be perfect :) wiring them in series with the flush ones i'd imagine won't cause any problems.

Indicators must be 100mm away from a main light. Flush ones alone will possibly fail an MOT for the reason you say above. Sidelight mod with standard indicators is also illegal - only allowed onee forward and one rear indicator per side of the bike. Allowed as many down the side as you want tho :) David |
