What are the bike builders on here using for electrical connectors??? ...Looking for some small 2 and 3 gang electrical connectors for motorcycle mods. Been using some very simple AMP connectors but I have almost run out and I am looking for a better style and source (preferably weatherpack style, think OEM suzuki). I have a couple of kits from Caspers Electronics but they are too large IMO for racebikes. I am thinking about ordering up a suzuki kit, but they are pretty spendy and I don't have part numbers for the 2 and/or 3 gang connectors alone. This means that I will quickly run out of the parts I use most often and be back in the same position in a few months... Unless someone has PN's for "refilling" the suzuki kits. There has to be a better alternative... any ideas???
AMP is actually one of the best products on the market. We use their stuff on high voltage high amperage industrial cables.
The Suzuki ones are available through K&L Supply, they are called 'F' connectors. Several different styles. They are not cheap, but they are considerably less than Milspec.
What are you connecting? If its not sensor circuitry, just use trailer connectors for 2 and 3 wire connections (4 too, I think). As far as water/weather proof goes, does it get any better? $1.99 per at Advance Auto.
A few more places here. 1. http://www.dataspares.com/acatalog/Connectors_.html A PITA to find what you're looking for, you have to click each part number for photos, but they have a great selection. 2. http://www.clipsandfasteners.com/Electrical_Items_s/88.htm 3. http://www.electrosport.com/accessories/connectors-and-wiring.html 4. http://www.jpcycles.com/catalog/2007HarleyCatalog/0258.asp
Deutsch Not cheap but there's a reason their stuff is used in F1, MotoGP, NASCAR and every other series.
Thanks for the info guys!!!... Looks like I'm gunna order up a suzuki kit and stock up on a bunch of the 1-2-and 3 gang connectors from that beaver guy that tommyd posted. 5$ each isn't that bad
