    Battery connectors.

    Hi,

    Anyone know where battery terminal connectors can be bought?

    ...ones that are good replacements for originals on a bike.

    A mates GN250 had its battery stolen a few nights ago. The buggers just bent the battery connectors until they snapped off. Using some crimp-on lugs I found at Supercheap I got it going for him (also had to stick a new fuse-holder in it), but it's not nice - the battery wires now stick out a bit. (Luckily he lost the side-cover ages ago).

    (The cables are now a bit short, because I had to cut the remains of the old connectors off, and the "replacement" connectors don't turn the angle they need to.)

    I've been looking for 2nd hand cables (tardme, and here; and looking for a near-by wrecker) but may need to just build new wires, using decent connectors with the proper kind of angles so the wires route where they should.

    So yeah. I've looked at repco and supercheap, who else does this kind of thing?

    Thanks,
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

    Ask at an auto-electrician. You should probably take the bike in there and have them crimped on properly.

    1) toss the "factory fuze holder as far away as you possibly can.--then run and get it and throw it still further.
    The wiring is probably just as easy to simply replace with wires from an old GN250. cost will be half of stuff all and the hardest part of the job is taking the seat off-In other words piece of piss.
