joining wires for Indicator - SV650.org

Hi All ,

Drew kindly gave me some indicators ( std ones ) .

As these have no connectors going to have cut and join wires together .

Don't have a soldering iron , whats the next best way , could I use box connector ( think thats what they are called , small box two screws to join wire) then cover in elecrical tape .

Or would I be better to buy some spade / bullet conectors ?

Can I just use pliers for the connectors or do I need a special tool ?

Cheers Steve

Go an buy a soldering iron and some shrinK wrap tube - or borrow one. They do come in useful and it's a better job done.

Done well with a decent crimp tool bullet or spade connectors work fine. Protecting them from the weather is a good idea though. The front loom of my bike is pretty much held together with the things.
