8-pin connector reuse

22 Jul 2014 18:32

I am installing a new fuse box in my 1982 gpz 1100 b2. I would like to connect the new harness directly into the existing 8 pin connector. How would I go about either reusing the existing connector and/or getting a new compatible connector. What is the connector standard that was used in this model year? z1 enterprises sells kl34 connectors. Is that the correct series/standard?

Once you determine what type connectors you need, here are a couple places that sell vintage connectors. Ed

When Installing a Ninja 500 voltage regulator, I got the needed stuff from CycleTerminal.com which has a pretty good selection (two orders in the past year). The Sumitomo 250 & .110 connectors are a good match to the KZ.

CycleTerminal --- Connectors

CycleTerminal --- Terminals

CycleTerminal --- Tools -- Open Barrel Crimper & Terminal pin extractors
The pin extractors are good quality. I already had a HarborFreight ratcheting crimper, but it has the wrong crimper dies, so I got a set for open barrel terminals from Amazon.com.
