    For a future project, I might want to replace every wire possible and the connectors. (Might go nice with a fuse box swap and possible fairing install).

    Where can I find the rubber covered OEM style male/female type connectors that connect 2, 3 or 4 wires?

    I found them here:
    www.mikesxs.net/produc...l#products

    Is that a good price range?
    Where else could I look locally or online?
    Chacal sell?

    Also what is another cheap source of the harder plastic quick connect plugs that connect multiple wires (ie inside the head light bucket).

    While I'm at it, does is anyone sell the whole XJ wiring harness like mikexs does?

    If you have a radio shack near by they might have them. I know they have single rubber covered male and female plugs for around $3.00 a bag I picked them up to have on hand.

    The Connectors on a Wiring Harness are ONLY there to facilitate THE BUILD.
    You really have NO need for Quick-Connects after the Bike is fully assembled.

    Some Parts that get Plugged-in during The Build ... NEVER get unplugged.

    Rather than replace a Plug-in's ... (On the items you never touch) ... solder and Heat Shrink the connection and make it BETTER than before.

    For the few things you're better-off leaving quickly replaceable, buy a used Wiring Harness and recycle the OEM Quik-Connects.

    The Wiring Color-codes will match and the fittings are the same.
