bullet wire connectors

06-04-2025, 02:17 AM

Does anyone know were to purchase good bullet wire connectors. Both male and female with weather Insulation Sleeves. Also looking for double female bullet connector. The ones sold on Amazon, Ebay, Temu , Walmart etc work but are thin, bendy and when crimped become disfigured easily. Last week I found a couple of motorcycle harness part sellers that look to have good ones but both were sold out. The OEM bullets still on a 1978 suzuki gs 550 are much thicker and still seem to be in good shape.

These guys have everything. I'm sure there must be a similar supplier in the states.

Eastern Beaver has these:

Connector Sealed Bullets

https://www.easternbeaver.com/connector-sealed-bullets/

Yazaki, Nihon Tanshin and other quality 2.5mm, 3.5mm and 4mm bullets. Manufactured in Japan. High quality with sheaths. Bulk pricing.

Although I'd argue that there's no such thing as a "good" bullet connector.

I will add to the votes for Vintage Connections and Eastern Beaver. I have used both of them several times and not been disappointed.

I also support the crimpers from Vintage Connections. I support them so much that I have two pairs, so I don't have to switch the dies so often.
