wiring harness plugs
« on: September 04, 2007, 04:48:17 PM »
I have couple 75 750 F models that are in need of new plugs on the wiring harness. Couple have broken bits and cracks. Having been left on the side of the road before due to electrical malfunctions I thought to inquire about new plugs to replace the old ones. Any thoughts as to where I could find them?

Nice link on those plugs!

I recently replaced a couple plugs on my 78 750 and put new ends on the wires.  If you wish to pul the wires and clips from your plugs there's a simple flat pick that you can purchase from Napa or other reliable auto parts store that is a huge help.

This little tool cost me $12 usd and I was a little shocked that the little pos would cost that much.  It was a huge timesaver.

Best of luck in your workings.

I am a bit of a skeptic when it come to connectors. I have been hardwiring using solder all connectors that do not unplug things like headlights etc. I did this on a Kawasaki and I had much better voltage readings. Connectors are designed for ease of manufacture- not connectivity.
