As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Generic name for Dyna S connector?

Can someone tell me the generic name for the little plastic connector used to splice a Dyna S into the bike's wiring? Mine's missing, and I need the name of the thing before going to the parts store.

I hate the look on the parts guy's face while I struggle to speak his lingo...
 
I've used male and female weatherpack connectors. (with pig tails). Get one of each and splice away. You could use a four pin trailer plug set too. It would be a bunch cheaper than weatherpack connectors.
As for the Dyna connectors themselves, get them from Dynatec.
 
Scotchlock? They are pure crap, in case you didn't know.
 
Thanks guys. If the the Dynatek ones are crap, what is the best gizmo to use? I will check out the weatherpak stuff-are there other options that are bulletproof?
 
No gismo. Tap into the wires you need to by stripping back the insulation and soldering in the tap wire. Heat shrink over the joint when finished. Scotchloks are open to the elements and often develop corrosion and resistance in the joint. They are marginally passable on the interior of a car, but not where water and moisture can get inside the joint.
 
Thanks Nessism. That is what I decided to do, as the most secure method. it looks like those gadgets are fast to install, but not the best, like most shortcuts.
 
They're an awful lot of fun to connect wipers or horns to turn signals, or so I've heard.:rolleyes:

Good decision! I always solder and heat shrink.
