Harley has used more than one type connector over the past 114 years...

If there was ever any manufacturer that made a great electrical tool(s), it`s the American company, Klein. Many electricians will agree with me on that......

LOL on 114 years of Harley connectors. I'm looking at the little square ones, specifically those on late model lighting connectors.

Maybe there are some mind readers out there who can help you.

Apparently you are not going to tell anyone what you are working on.

Good luck.

IWISS makes a good set of crimpers. Just make sure you get the ones for the pins your doing.

I'm working on the rear turn signals for my Sportster 72 project. I had to replace the fixture which means you have to install those small pins. Sorry, I don't know what they are called. All the HD parts guy sad was use a small crimper.
