Victory & Indian Motorcycle Electrical Connectors, Heat Shrink, Pigtails, Wire Covering & Supplies

Your Victory or Indian motorcycles electrical system can be challenging to even the best home mechanic. Honestly though, anybody with some simple tools, some common sense and some patience should be capable of correctly making a correct electrical connection. Repairing a simple broken wire or adding an electrical accessory isn't hard. So why do so many wiring connections and splices that look like crap?

Bare, twisted-together wires with electrical tape and wiring nuts don't make reliable connections. Often times that's how people connect wires or add accessories and the results can and often times go up in smoke. There are only a few ways to properly connect wires together. 

 

 

How to Solder wires together

 

Soldering  Requires some skill and specialty tools. If you’re not familiar with soldering, in simple terms you need to heat the wires you want to join together until the solder melts. The trick to a good connection is to heat the joint until the solder melts and flows through it. Doing it incorrectly can result in a weak joint which often times breaks and a connection with high resistance which can cause the wire to get hot.

 Crimp Terminals  Are more common and will do the job but are not reusable. If the crimp is properly made, it's nearly as strong as a soldered joint. When the finished joint is properly protected with heat shrink, oxidation, leading to corrosion, shouldn't be an issue.
