    Bullet Connectors for Coil Inputs?

    Bike is an 82 1100E. I am planning on doing the coil relay mod and would like to use bullet connectors to allow me to avoid permanently altering the wiring harness but I have read they are not a standard 0.157" or 0.197" size. What size do I need? I have seen links to fleabay sellers that have the correct sizes, but have had no luck searching here to find a current link. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.


    Thanks,
    Mark

    There is no need to change the coil connections.

          Personally I would rather use waterproof spade connectors. They tend to be more reliable and carry higher current for the given size. That's what I used.

          Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

            I don't want to cut anything on the harness, I want to plug the Orange/green wires at their connectors into the 12V output from the relay. Hence, needing to match to the oddball size Suzuki connectors. Posplayr, thanks for the cycle terminal link.

              With the link I sent all you have to do is power the O/W someplace downstream of the right hand switch. You can do this various ways including just splicing into that single wire. No reason to touch the coils or add adapter cables.
