sub harness turn signals adapter?
Hey guys, I just have a question about wiring and what I need to get if needed. So I purchased a motodynamic sequential tail light for my 2012 250r. Very easy, for the break light it is plug and play but the turn signals I have a bit of an issue. The female end of the subharness easy plugins with the tail light with no problem. The turn signals wire, does not fit into (the grey end with the pins) subharness at all. In the instructions it shows that I'm suppose to have a black and grey box that clicks into the subharness but my bike doesn't have that, and i have even tried flattening the end from the turn signals to try to shove it in but i didn't work. Right now it is being held together with electrical tape very loosely which temporarily loosens as i go over bumps. Does anyone know what I need to buy or do?
Here is a picture of the subharness: |

That picture has the wrong type of connector for the mighty Ninja. You need the 2 Pin HB .050 Turn Signal Connector, which can be purchased from Cycle Terminal. You'll need the female ones, male ones are on the bike's harness.
Cut off connectors from your new turn signals, crimp the new terminals onto the wires, slide them into the connector housings, and you can then plug them right into the bike.

Or alternatively, solder and heat shrink the wires.

Personally I like to do both. Formula-1, military and aerospace practice is to crimp AND solder the wires to the terminals. The solder seals air-space between the wire-strands that wick moisture up the wire and results in green/black wire disease.
