Odd and non-standard electrical connectors
« on: July 30, 2016, 05:57:38 PM »
I'm looking for a trustworthy source for the odd electrical connectors that motorcycles can have.

Specifically I'm trying to find a clutch diode holder - the one on my Sabre melted into slag.  Currently (no pun intended), I just have the diode flapping in the wind, hanging by two wires.  If finding that holder proves too hard, I can just tape it to the electrical harness and not worry.  But there are a couple others I'd like to get as well - starter solenoid connector (a bit thinner than a standard 4 prong connector), also a CDI connector - again a bit thinner than a standard 6 prong connector (already tried, Honda made the connector a might too thin).

I think the diode will fit in a blade fuse holder

That was it Noble.  Professional Kit CK-4N appears to contain what I need.  Thanks.

I remember looking there one before, guess I just needed a second glance.
