    There is a black multi-connector up on the top of frame right behind the fork headpiece into which plugs the cable from the right-hand control switch unit. The wires are almost broken off behind the receiving part of the plug. I think I've got enough slack to cut them and put new pins on, but I doubt I can get the old pins out without breaking it.

    Is that connector available anywhere? It could have as many as 6 pins in two rows, although mine only has three - R/W, Blue/W, R/W. (Oddly, the control switch cable has a fourth black wire.)

    Thanks.

    Hey Baytonemus, we offer this style connector, but only in white, not in the original black as used on the right side control switch harness:


    Six-terminal Connector Blocks:

    HCP12881FMWHT Aftermarket white plastic FEMALE CONNECTOR SHELL, 6-place, rectangular, with dual male latching pegs, used on all of the following circuits listed below. Accepts the HCP9326xx male round pin terminal. Each:
    $ 3.95

    * HCP12881FMWHT (the female shell with the dual male latching pegs) is used on:
    - Left handlebar control switch, on the control switch lead-in harness side of the connection: all XJ550 and all XJ650 (except Turbo) models.
    - Left handlebar control switch, on the main harness side of the connection: all XJ650 Turbo, all 1981-83 XJ750 models, and XJ900 models.
    - Left handlebar control switch, turn signal and horn lead-in harness, on the main harness side of the connection: all XJ1100 models.
    - NOTE: this white connector shell can be used in place of the black or brown connector shell that is used on the right side handlebar control switch on all XJ-series models, as those colors are not currently available.



    HCP12881MFWHT Aftermarket white plastic MALE CONNECTOR SHELL, 6-place, rectangular, with a female latch-peg receiver and side "ear" tabs, used on all of the following circuits listed below. Accepts the HCP9327xx female "triangular" round style pin terminal. NOTE: some models used true "round pin" style terminals and a matching connector shell that is no longer available. These HCP12881MFWHT shells, when used with the replacement HCP9327 "triangular" round-style pins, will properly mate up with their opposite original shell on your bike. Each:
    $ 3.95

    * HCP12881MFWHT (the male shell with the female latch-peg receiver and side "ear" tabs) is used on:
    - Left handlebar control switch, on the main harness side of the connection: all XJ550 and all XJ650 (except Turbo) models.
    - Left handlebar control switch, on the control switch lead-in side of the connection: all XJ650 Turbo, all 1981-83 XJ750 models, and XJ900 models.
    - Left handlebar control switch, turn signal and horn lead-in harness, on the control switch lead-in harness side of the connection: all XJ1100 models.
    - NOTE: this white connector shell can be used in place of the black or brown connector shell that is used on the right side handlebar control switch on all XJ-series models, as those colors are not currently available.



    Original type Round-Pin Wire-End Terminals:

    NOTE: it is easy to confuse these original style round pin wire-end terminals with the similar "bullet" terminals listed below. Round Pin Wire-End Terminals are always used inside a hard plastic connector shell, while the "bullet" style terminals are never inserted into a hard-shell connector body, and are instead placed within a soft, flexible, clear plastic sheath. All of these "open-barrel" style terminals are designed to be both crimped onto the wire insulation and to the bare wire.


    HCP9326TP Aftermarket original style tin-plated brass MALE ROUND PIN WIRE-END TERMINAL, used with the female HCP9330FMxx, HCP12881FMxx, HCP12882FMxxx, HCP12885FMxx, HCP12886FMxx, and HCP13164FMxx connector shells. Mates to the HCP9327TP or HCP14021TP female terminals. Used primarily in the main key switch, the handlebar control switches, and the fuel sender unit circuits. Correct style tin-plated solid brass terminal features retention dimples for insertion and positive locking into their connector shell. Accepts 14-18 gauge wires. Each:
    $ 0.90


    HCP9327TP Aftermarket original style tin-plated brass FEMALE ROUND-STYLE PIN WIRE-END TERMINAL, used with the male HCP12881MFxx connector shell. Mates to the HCP9326TP male terminals. Used primarily in the main key switch, the handlebar control switches, and the fuel sender unit circuits. Correct style tin-plated solid brass terminal features retention dimples for insertion and positive locking into their connector shell. Accepts 14-18 gauge wires. NOTE: most original harnesses used a non-available HCP14021xx truly "round" opening terminal. These HCP9327TP "round-style" terminals will accept the HCP9326TP male round-pin terminals, but will not fit original connector shells that used the truly round-pin female terminals. They will only fit into original connector shells that used the "triangulated" round-style female terminals. Each:
    $ 0.90

    I would have had you to check with chacal if I had known he has them.
    I know now... won't happen again
