Source for replacement wire harness connectors.

[Guest]

Many wiring issues on my 81 GS 850G but not ready to redo whole harness. Would like to redo many of the connectors (some 9 pin ones, etc). I think I saw some info RE: a good source for decent assortment of these connectors here way back when. Anyone have a handle on one or more suppliers of these items?

Thanks, as always.

It might be this one: http://www.corsa-technic.com/categor...category_id=58
I've never bought from them but it looks pretty good.

I have used the first two, but I know many people use the third one as well.

Thanks to all for the "leads" I am actually thinking of a longer term project of rebuilding the entire sorry-assed wire harness. I envision usupending a frame of light wood with some arms on it above the spine of the bike & duplicate the stock harness with better & slightly heavier guage wire. I should be able to color code the striped leads by marking the wires where they emerge from the harness with heat shrink or just using colorful permanent sharpie markers. As I do with all, will spend a good bit of time plotting out the plan. Good winter project I think.

Thanks again for the rapid responses!!!

Just so you know, most of the electrical problems for these old bikes can be solved by a couple of upgrades that go beyond simply making the harness wires larger.

Look at the Solid State Power Box described in my signature.

And read GS Stator as well for R/R options.

It also looks like you have an option for a new OEM harness from Suzuki still

I found several corroded connectors, and my harness was just in all around poor condition, so I decided to simply buy a new one and do some additional upgrades (relay for the ignition system, etc), like an Sh775 series type R/R, and convert the harness to a Single Point Ground set up.

Lots of great info in Posplyr's signature!!

Got a nice kit, tool & good supply of extra parts from Vintage Connections. Guy is super nice, fast delivery & even refunded part of my payment as he wanted to toss in a little tool I ordered & paid for. Thanks for the tip. This is the kind of business we need to support.
