Default Need some wiring help

I'm installing the turn signal relocation kit on my '17 FXDB and I need to crimp some connectors. I've never had any luck with this style of pin so I'm looking for some help. What type of crimper do I need? Is this a Molex pin? Can you guess a size off the pic with the beer can? This is for the 3 wire turn signal connectors.

Actually, those look to be AMP / Tyco / TE Connectivity "Multilock" Connector Terminals ... Not Molex (Brand)

Granted this is only turn signals, but I would solder them.

It`s a crimp connector, obviously it is designed to be crimped. Solder is not the way to install this connector.

You will never see a solder joint on an OEM connector. A proper crimp is the best way to install a terminal to a wire.

I’m making some harnesses, and bought this on Amazon, and it works well. I’d use this rather than any other option that will scru it up, There’s a reason Harley selected Molex, which are the best you can get. Don’t scru up your reliability by cheaping out for $20,

BTW, if I was to buy a used car or motorcycle and saw that someone made hack job electrical modifications, I’d stay clear.

If I was wiring every day I would want that $35 one.

That $17 one looks like it works fine.
