Premium Member DewMan Posted September 22, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted September 22, 2020 I'm about to be wiring up some new toys on my bike and want to use connectors better than non-sealed spade/bullet connectors while still making some of the connections modular. Some of connections will be soldered & shrink wrapped but other will be modular to allow for easier future upgrades/removal. I'll be primarily using 2 & 3 wire connectors. I've got the equipment to crimp computer style connectors but they're not suitable for the voltages used in M/C electrical systems obviously as well as the lack of weatherproofing. From what I've found so far I'd prefer the Sumitomo MT connectors but I can't seem to find a starter kit anywhere that might make them a bit more economical. Anyone have an good source for Sumitomo MT style connectors/kit or know of a good quality alternative and/or recommended ratcheting crimpers for this style connector? Thanks for any helpful information. DewMan Just shut up and ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked there and they actually have a small kit for just over $60 that I may be getting if I can't find anything better. DewMan Just shut up and ride.

The Delphi connectors are highly rated for their quality, dependability and ease of install. I ordered the WP-405 kit. It's more connectors than I need but you never know when you might need to do some wiring on your vehicles. Sorry! Something went wrong! Thanks to everyone who responded. It's most appreciated.

Aliexpress.com that looks good I've been using these for Few years and they are real nice. Much more compact compared to weatherpacks at a fraction of the price. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided I'd rather spend a bit more and have a lower risk of having to redo any work. If money was more of a factor I would have gone with those. DewMan Just shut up and ride.
