I'm replacing the connector at the bottom of this photo:  I need to find a 4 conductor weatherproof connector - metripack or similar - for 14/16 ga wire. Took a look on ebay, where they go for between $1.50 and $30.  How much do I need to spend for a decent connector, and where is a reliable source? Thanks |

The guy at www.easternbeaver.com specializes in connectors and has a good reputation although no FHE. He is in Japan and has a $20 minimum order so best to find several things you need. |

I had a good experience with this company when I bought a headlight harness connector. http://www.cycleterminal.com/index.html The owner quickly answered an email question I had and gave me several choices for higher quality connectors. |

Thanks for all the suggestions - no problem now finding a connector. The stock unsealed connector has 7mm wide blade terminals. It's big. The red and red/wht wires are 14/16 gauge and carry power to and from the ignition switch - will a 30 amp rated sealed connector, like a metri pack 280, be adequate in that position? The bike's main fuse is a 30 amp...

The metripack will work fine for you application ..... the only things is that ther bulky .... the Deutch connetors look better ...
I use metripack for linking the alternator to the voltage regulator... I'ts probeblly the hardest voltage and harsh condition that you can put a connector true...and it works flawlessly...

I have a box full of metripacks.... if you want I can send you everyting that tou need to install it ( crimps, plugs, receptical ) Whit metripack you just have to dont forget to put the little ruber first , crimp the wires and after intall it in the plug or receptical ..... the order is important ..... A 4 way connector is that it ? P.m. your adress and I send it to you.......free.....  |

Thanks! What I have to connect are the two 14 or 16 ga main wires and two 22 ga lighting relay wires. Can I use one connector for those different size wires? If so, it's a four-way. I was going to use a metri pack 280 two-way 30 amp for the big wires (those don't seem to come 4-way), and some sort of mini connector for the lighting wires...
