If you are installing wiring on your bike consider these connectors. They are made for RC aircraft and are extremely reliable, easy to connect and disconnect, can take high loads and they are very solid. WAY better than the cheap automotive style connectors that you buy at napa, shucks, ect. I just installed my 200W Ricky Stator and used these connectors to replace the ones that came on the stator assy, wires going to the lights, switches, ect ect. When you are in the middle of know where it pays to have solid electrical connections.

These are the connectors, available at any Hobby Shop.

I like that. That is one thing I need to do still on my KLR is upgrade the wiring, at least to the headlight. Do you also have a preferance on what type of wire to use? Or just regular automotive wire?

I just use some good quality automotive wire, Napa has a good selection of colors and wire sizes.
