I've never seen them just sell the connector on RonAyers (or from any fiche). It is part of the harness on one end and the sending unit on the other. Couldn't you just splice (cut, solder, heat-shrink) longer wires in the middle to accomplish the same thing?

 

When I had my Vol I would just slide a small piece of 2x4 on edge under the rear lip of the tank so both my hands were free.

 

I could do that. I was just hoping to get new both ends of that white connector and extend it in the middle. If it weren't for that connector, removing and reinstalling the gas tank would be just hook onto rubber donuts and you're about done for anything under the tank.

 

If you're going to cut both connectors from their wires, couldn't you
just replace the plug with whatever plug you want? I've got lots of
connectors and plugs and terminals gathered over the years,
doesn't everybody?

 

One end terminates on the gas tank. where does the other end connect to the bike? Maybe I will leave the white connection alone and do like Aunt Sassy says, just add a connector to where ever is convenient toward the other end.

 

One thing to consider is you may want to solder any extension you make to the wires. I'm not sure , but sometimes when a splice connector is added it changes the resistance of the circuit and may affect the way things perform.

 

I'm in the wiring business, and you know what I say. If it's not brken don't fix it. You'll find most of the problem not just on bikes is wiring. Then most of those are when people Mod something, And then when people don't really know how to do it properly.

I know people are going to say I did that and I never had a proble. But can you tell me any wire on your bike that soldiered. The answer is NO because that's the first thing that will break. It will break where the solder ends and the wires starts.

Wires should be crimped withe the right size and the right tool and the use of heat shrink. All week I've been trouble shooting and repairing units that come off trains and they have no wiring problem because there were done right.

The worst thing to use are t locks.

But adding a foot of wire is not going to change the resistance that much. It's a very low ohm system and very little current. But for the hell of it use the next size gauge if your going to do it. The ticker the wire the less resistances.

Good luck
