mouser.com - sometimes the autoparts stores carry them
you can even buy shrinkwrap that does the same thing, but then you still have to solder, you can buy that at marine stores (it seals out saltwater so they use it on boats all the time)

Philips electrical makes really good connectors with the glue heat shrink. Personally, I have started to solder and heat shrink all my permanent electrical connections. It's cheaper, and has the same outcome.

ORIGINAL: SpeedNStylez

I just got my clearalternative.com side blinkers in smoke...I was wondering if I need to do any splicing into the wires to move the blinkers next to my brake light?

Markmeintell...Do you still have a license plate light to shine at night? Doesnt seem like it? Is this legal in the US?
Looks like the splicing and wires question has already been answered by everybody else.

I do not use the license plate light anymore. It is not technically legal here to ride without one, but there is some light that comes off the main tail light that helps illuminate the license plate. I haven't been pulled over yet.

Your license plate light is hiding under the bottom of your tail light. Its filled in with a red plastic piece, pop it out and glue in a clear piece of plastic and you are good to go.

Or you can go ghetto and do what I did and cover it with clear packaging tape.

Or, when you get the clear lense kit, that plastic piece doesn't exist.

Mark, I am curious as to which tires you got for the bike and if you've found any pics with the db windshield on the 250.

Unfortunately, I haven't replaced the original tires yet. I'm thinking they may have about 1500-2000 miles left before they're toast. When I do buy new tires, I'm thinking of trying the Pirelli sport demons.
