Thanks pumps, that's what I was looking for. In the photo it looks the same as a single female quick disconnect terminal, that's what got me confused.

Well I thought I had it figured out until I read that last post....

I am using the attached diagram. My original question was about how to make the connection indicated by the arrow. The hot red ...

That's a good idea about just using a larger crimp splice, can't believe I didn't think of that. I was trying to figure out in my head how to head shrink what is essentially a "T" shape.

Thanks despecial, but I'm still confused.....what do I use to make a single wire "branch out" into two wires?

I apologize in advance for the silly question, but I'll ask it anyways. What is the preferred method of splicing one wire into another length of wire? As in, there is a red wire from my TCI box conn ...

Got one. Thanks.

Do you have the ignition switch?

Radio shack only had red, white, black, and green, and didn't carry any 14 ga wire at all. I was hoping to get a bunch of different colors to help me keep things straight. Just found this though, I ...

Where does everyone get their wire to wire up the bike from scratch? I'd like to get an assortment of colors in shorter (10 ft) lengths rather than buy a bunch of 40 foot spools. Anyone sell a kit l ...

I put my forks back together today but now I noticed on the second fork that when I slide the damper rod down and it is sticking out the end of the fork leg, there is a lot of side to side play (1/4 i ...

As a followup, has anyone removed the "hood" piece that's on the top of the shocks Mikes sells? Its the part that corresponds to the chrome thing with the reflector on it on my stock units. I know t ...

I got some new taller shocks from Mikes. I kind of wish I hadn't now because I keep reading about how stiff the ride is going to be, but oh well.

I have a couple of questions regarding how these ...

thanks everyone, i got it in laying it on its right side with no major paint damage. success!

I swear I saw a post on here at one point that explained a 1-man method of putting the engine into the frame by laying the engine on its side and dropping the frame on top.

Has anybody done this? ...

I'm looking for just about any type of exhaust system to put on my bike, so long as it isn't the stock pipes. Can't justify shelling out 3 or 4 hundred for pipes considering the bike itself only cost ...

Steering lock on an old XS? My bike is an '81, not really an old XS. Maybe the stem has been replaced with one from an older model? The inside of the steering head is smooth; I don't see anything t ...

I want to put a grease fitting on the steering head, but there's this hole in the middle of my steering stem. Anybody know what it's for? Any reason I shouldn't just plug it up with something?

Good question tay, that's exactly what I was wondering. Anyone?

anyone? i can trade a 19" spoke front or a 16" spoke rear.

Wow, lunch at wendy's......that's a bargain! I read somewhere that the rotors need to be blanchard ground; is that what was done to your rotor there?...i'm assuming a local machine shop will know wha ...

Hey pumps, looks good. Where did you get the stock rotor resurfaced and what did it cost you? Also, what "two kits" are you referring to about the mc? The rebuild kit and the cap & diaphragm kit?

Perfect, that's kind of what I wanted to hear....good performance from the stock parts. My other bikes have been more modern, so it was making me nervous to depend on these heavy old parts (I'm yet t ...

I've been researching the various options for an upgrade to the front braking system on my '81 Special II (currently stock and in poor shape). There's lots of info on the boards about how to upgrade ...
