    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. 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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I want to replace a couple of inline electrical connectors on my bike. In some thread on this forum, Posplayer or Nessim (I think??) detailed some online vendors that offer high quality electrical connectors. Of course, when I'm looking for their posts I can't find it! Maybe someone can remember the posts or point me in the direction of an online vendor that offers high quality electrical connectors. Thanks in advance for the help!
 
I guess there are plenty of them. I was going to order quite a bit from this one. I like his selection on terminals and heat shrink as well as the open barrel crimper tutorials and selection.

Wow! Thanks for the quick replies!

The red power "out" wire coming off of the R/R (mine is an Electrosport if it makes any difference) ... what gauge size wire do you think that is ... 14?? ... 16?? Assuming a healthy battery and charging system, what do you think the peak amperage through that wire might be??

The largest stock wire going into your fuse box is 16 AWG with the rest 18 AWG. The is no need to run anything bigger than 14 AWG from the R/R and battery.

average numbers are what matter. There can be spikes when things turn on but most loads are 5 amps and only peak top 10 amps. With headlamps and brakes blinker yuo can spike to 17 amps but settle at 9 amps.

Thanks Jim. I just want to make sure that I get some connectors that will have the least resistance and also be up to the potential amp loading.
