    Wiring connectors

    I'm in the process of fitting new turn signals to my GS650GL, and the previous own kindly cut some of the wiring so I've got some replacing to to do. Obviously I could use any sort of connectors, but I was trying to remain "stock" to minimise maintenance headaches down the line (without having to replace all the connectors upfront!).

    Any ideas what I should be searching for to find a good match?

    The stock stuff was mostly bullet connectors, but I'd avoid those and opt for male/female spades. Make sure your turn signals have a good ground . Hopefully, you have ventured to Basscliff's site and scooped a color wiring diagram to help you navigate Suzuki's approach to electrics!

      I've been buying my connectors recently from Cycle Re-Cycle II and Vintage Connections.

        There is really nothing all that "wrong" with bullet connectors.

        LIke any other connector, clean and tight is the way to go. Nice, fresh bullets work VERY well.
