The battery on my 1982 KZ1100A2 was not charging, so I replaced the battery. Everything was ok until I hit a bump and the turn signal, that was on at the time, dimmed. The battery was discharged by the time I got home.

I checked things over, ohm checked the alternator and rectifier, and cleaned the connectors. The alternator and rectifier checked good. When I pulled the 9 pin connector apart, it crumbled in my hand. When the harness was installed, they ran the connector over the frame instead of under it, like on my other two bikes, and it appearantly got squeezed between the tank and frame and over the years, the stress was too much and in now is in little pieces.

Does anyone still make these connectors? I need the male pin half....thanks...chris3
