Molex connectors are used in computers.

That pin tool + the proper crimper are your saving grace...turns a frustrating project into fun one real fast.

Check with "SCLonghair" on the Dyna forum. He posted some very detailed pictures and videos about working with those.

I had no trouble at all!!! Vent away though, better to do it here than to kick the dog and throw **** at your neighbors (not that I've done either)

They are easy once you get the hang of them. And a pin crimper and pin tool go a long way.

Easiest way I can put it.......they connect accessories, or in this case lights, that run a lot of wires to your main harness.

I'm sure there is a better way to explain it than that lol

By the way, I might need an extra set of hands when I put her back together, hopefully you'll be around. My girlfriend has been helpful up to this point but i feel bad cause she keeps ruinning her clothes with grease lolol.
