Converting the handlebar to metric and the switches to metric too\u2014that’s domestication.

I couldn’t find retail options, so I went with a Daytona set.
\nIt’s from a maker called DEUTSCH.
\nThey also handle metacons like Souriau, so it’s interesting material for someone who loves components.
\nSpeaking of Souriau, that means STACK.
 
\n
 
Tube-shaped (with a divider). I have various crimping pliers, but which one is the best?
 
\n
 
I checked the OEM connector before installing\u2014it’s a different shape.
\nAs long as the crimp is clean, it’s OK, so I’ll go ahead and solder it for safety.
 
\n
 
I like the connector claw-lock style.
\nI try to avoid the type where you bend the tabs on the crimped terminal unless it matches the OEM design.
 
\n
 
Verification is visual, so it takes a lot of work\u2014and I have to do it for both the Harley side and the Honda side.
 
\n
 
Headlight ON\/OFF, HI\/LO, horn, pass, turn signals
\nI noticed after installing it\u2014the Harley method is different!
\nWell, I’ll figure it out tomorrow.
\nCiao!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
