Write nuts our butt slices.

Wanting some opinions here, what holds up better when rewiring behind the light, but splices, our small wire nuts?

Bullet connectors. Small, easy to use, and will last for decades. Ed

Yeah I thought about bullet connectors, now to figure out the blinkers.

splice, solder and shrink wrap.

Wow you got one correct. Wire nuts are for residential wiring not motorcycles.

When I do wiring modifications on my bike(new horns,running lights,& more visability to the rear), I use heatshrinkable splices, as they are waterproof, and resist vibration. There are two types;one that you crimp on the wires and then shrink down, and the other one that contains solder in a heatshrinkable splice.

The ring terminal holes comes in many sizes, from #4 up to 1/2" in most cases, it's a matter of finding the tightest fitting hole to fit the fastener for the termination.

American Wire Gauge(AWG) is backwards to what many people think; that is 22 gauge is many times smaller than 10 gauge even though the number is bigger.
