When I got my bike, it came with the front marker lights set up as running lights.  Then I broke my turn signals, and had to cut out the old wire splitter (was permanently affixed).  I found the little stub I snipped out.

It's two female, one male!

And that's not so bad either, is it...

Pablo, just for the record, this is what I ment too.   :thumb:

Today I went to the local Radio Shack (ick) and auto parts store to find parts.  It seems that Suzuki uses a different sized snap connector than what the stores sell.  Suzuki's wiring connectors are ~25% smaller than what I could find.
This confuses me  :?
Does anyone know what size connector is used and where to get it? (digikey?)  16 ga. bullet type snap connectors just aren't it.

And I wanted to make them tonight :(

Don't mind me, I am feeling especially stupid today.

Couldn't you just replace the connectors on both ends?  That's what I did with the turn signal wires.  (I had the same problem with too-small OEM connectors.  Whenever I need to goof with "off-sized" connectors like that, I just replace them with a "standard" sized pair.  That makes it easier to goof around with the NEXT time as well.)

Of course I could do that... do I want to be lazy and use the right connector and only have one end to do... or do I want to be lazy and not search for the right connector anymore... hmmm  :P

I vote for being lazy!

If I knew what a 'Radio Shack' in Japan looked like, I'd try that since I'm going there next week  :)
