Givi 46/Fred Harmon brake lights-connector

[Niehart]

I have a Givi 46 top box with Fred Hamon tail/brake light setup. I have been switching bikes and have not had the lights hooked up for awhile. I decided to hook the lights up but I want a 3 prong connector setup between the box and the bike. I take the box on and off the bike quite often so I want a connector that's water proof and comes apart fairly easy.

Ideas?

Where do your wires go back into the bike? Do you need the connection to be outside in the weather or can it go between the back seat/body and have the connection under the seat?

Outside in the weather. I don't want to have to take the seat off to remove the top case.

Try Vetco in Bellevue. I bet they have something that would work. If nothing else you could use a trailer type connector.

Liberal application of cream cheese pie on the connectors will keep the water out...

I suppose a MS style connector would be too bulky?

Trying to find something small and water proof.

RaYzerman19, did the goggle. I'm just too cheap to pay $150 for this plug and I have been burnt on the China stuff too many times.

Well, I can't help you, but I still have the original Fred-H connector on mine and I'd love to have something better. Let us know if you find something.

For the others who are trying to help, the problem is that the wires are fairly small and will break easily. The wires hang out the bottom front of the trunk and it is very easy to forget to disconnect the plug before you pop the trunk off. So we need something that is durable but slides apart easily without breaking the wires when pulled apart.

Have you had a look at Admore Lighting

They have a good setup but I don't want to buy the whole package just to get their connections when my lights work great.

I can help with that. They owe me a favor or two. You just need to learn how to ask the right people.



Just checked, I think I have the pieces you need in my spare parts box. Get your cell phone fixed and call me.
