I'm currently (attempting to) wrap my head around installing a new wiring harness in my newly acquired MKII. It came with the old harness already ripped out and there's lots of non OEM wiring in there so it's super confusing for a novice like me, and a lot of the connectors don't match the wiring harness meant to drop into a totally stock setup.
I've heard that Lucas got a bad wrap for their electronics mostly because the OEM connections were poor. No idea if that's accurate or not, but I have a bunch of Japanese bike bullet connectors along with the correct crimp tool so I'm wondering if it's worth replacing all the connectors on the loom to those. As mentioned, the bike itself has a lot of non-OEM connections so I'm going to have to change out a bunch of connectors anyway, and if I stick with the Lucas style connectors, I'm going to have to purchase both connectors and crimping tool (which isn't cheap). Any thoughts?
