    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.

What electrical connectors do you use?

My local auto shop sells really crap crimp connectors, that don't crimp that well. Can anyone suggest anything good?

I'm wondering if there is any reason not to use Wago connectors. These are fairly new type of connector that electricians use instead of the screw down connectors. They are dead simple to use you just, click up the holder, pop the cable in then the click the holder down to hold it in. They are available in 2/ 3/ 4 /5 way.

I'll attach a photo / link:

They can't be any worse than Scotchloks, but how about vibration resistance?
 
Depends on the application. Those look a little bulky if you're going to be rewiring your whole bike but useful for ease of use. Posilocks are a cool connector that are easy to use, require no tools and reliable. They are a little pricey but a really great thing to be able to throw in the tool kit on your bike. For rewiring a whole bike, there are a couple companies that sell OEM similar wiring connectors. I've used both www.vintageconnections and http://cycleterminal.com/ and they're both great.
 
Cycle Recycle II in Indianapolis or vintageconnections.com are your best resources. Please stay away from scotchloks and wire nuts
