Attn: Aussies - Where can I buy plugs like the stock ones?

Take a look at this eBay auction:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Motorcyc...cycle_Parts&hash=item1c14427f8a#ht_2464wt_952

That's the same plug as used on my gauge wiring where it plugs into the harness, and the same seller has lots of those style plugs.

Next Saturday I plan to swap my stock gauges for my Acewell, and I'd love to be able to hook the Acewell harness to the stock plugs, but I can't find anywhere in Aus to buy them!

I'd buy them from the UK except that it doesn't leave me enough time for shipping. The stuff my wife buys occasionally from the UK takes 2 to 3 weeks to get here, but I need them in just over a week.

Anyone seen anywhere here in Aus that sells these sorts of plugs and can steer me in the right direction?

Pete,

I would think Hella or Britax would have them.

Hey Ken, cheers for that. Neither turned up in my searching but I didn't look specifically for them so I'll do some more hunting. I haven't had a chance to go scouting shops yet, just the Internet.

Cheers Dale, I've seen those also but there's still the shipping time issue unfortunately. I know I could get them quicker with Fedex or whatever but it ain't a cheap alternative...

Worst comes to worse I'll just chop the connectors off the harness on the day but I'd really like a fall-back position if I can't get it all done on the same day. Don't wanna be without the bike come the next Monday...
 
Pete, i am probably wrong and our bikes are different, but i think the length of the stock cables and the length of the cables on the acewell will make this pretty hard to do.
i did mine ages ago and i am by no means a perfectionist, but i would pop your tank off and have a look before you worry too much about sourcing connectors.
 
Thanks for the tips and links guys, no joy so far locally.

Ken, no go with Hella, Britax, or even Narva.

I'm not going to get the opportunity to go scouring retailers tomorrow either, so I think I'm probably going to have to go hard or go home and just chop the harness... oh well them's the breaks right?

Tim I was thinking just to make a very short adaptor basically between the existing harness connectors and the Acewell harness, and there should be plenty of length from the Acewell harness to do that. I'll be popping the tank off sometime between now and Saturday to properly plan everything out so I can just get stuck in on the day. It's election day as well so I'm going to lose a significant amount of time to go vote.

However, looking like a no go on the plugs so will more than likely have to start chopping away regardless.

I guess I can always get the plugs later and redo it... but that seems like an awful lot of work...
