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...

    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.

There was a link for a wire and connector vendor, but I cannot find it. I need to tighten up some of the wiring for my lights, but Auto Zone, etc. don't seem to carry any multi-wire disconnects (e.g., the triple connector for the brake/tail lights).

Can someone hook a brother up?

TIA
 
Found mine at local radio shack. They had several different variations of multi-pin plugs.
 
If you want to match the stock connectors, then Vintage Connections, Eastern Beaver, and Cycle Recycle II carry the various parts you'll need.

If you just want to put together a very nice sealed connection, then any Napa store should have a selection of Weatherpack connectors. If you don't have the proper crimp tool (a bit spendy), then you'll need to solder.

They're very nice - I'll be using them.
 
Ive done more boat electrical than motorcycle electrical however it seems to be very similar and needs to be equally weather and corrosion resistant.

For weather proof connections Ive found that the male female spades with heat shrink built into the spade connectors works really well, especially with some dielectric compound on the connectors.

I use the website below, they seem to have the best price on electrical connections and tinned wire (preferred for marine applications due to corrosion resistance.)

I used those before, they are great. I now emulate them by putting adhesive shrink tubing on the wire end of the spade connector and using dielectric grease at the connection itself. A lot cheaper and almost as good.
