06/29/09 at 10:59:13

i swear if i get laughed @ by one more parts guy i'm going to snap! i went to pep boys and napa....they didn't have anything in stock, and they had no clue what i was talking about. i quote the one guy "dude you're f***ed" and then again gave me the whole car parts don't go on bikes" speech. have these people heard of hot rodding? they didn't have part stores back in the day they winged it....much like i'm doing now!

i'm about to ask one of u guys to buy it and ship it and i'll pay for it....or just get the darn 30 dollar part from suzuki.....

please help....i'm losing it...out of the entire mod list the friggin relay is being the worst....the tank is coming out great though! i'm gonna go count to ten lol

i just talked to the guy @ cycle gear...he can order me a suzuki electronic one for 20 bucks...no splicing no soldering....since the one is the original on my bike (from '95) i'm pretty sure i won't have to replace it for a while.....

just a ? is the requirement for some auto stores being able to spell the word "car" lol

i'm just aggravated...my apologies to anyone on here who was or is a parts person.....i'm thinking u know how to wrench...or @least what one looks like!!! Wink

dont even bother talking to the counter people or if you have to just say its for a car. Just look around with the fuses. Probably at the bottom of the rack. The package will say something like "12 V Thermal Turn Signal Relay" or " 12V Thermal Flasher Unit" or something like that. $3-4. Get the one with 2 prongs, not 3. Cut off the stock connector, strip both wires it was on and wrap one around each prong. Doesnt matter which wire wraps around which prong. Apply electrical tape as needed. Please dont spend $20 or more. Im begging you.

Yup! found a straight drop in for my old GSX-R750 years ago and used it with no issues for 12 years before I sold the bike.

sweet! that'll work, they said the only ones they have are 30 bucks now not 20...

so it'll hold with tape? or solder? my friend mentioned something about bull connectors? but i've been looking for one to plug in, i didn't even think of taking off those freaking little connectors!

so a universal one will work?! awesome! now is vibration a problem if i jsut tape it?

ridiculous! that looks alot better then soldering! i assume u just find a set that'll work on the relay.....harbor freight away!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

am i the only one who feels the need to buy everything in that store? here's how my logic goes "so what if i only need one, and may never use them again, it's a pack of 415 for 3 dollars!!" lol

Reply #14 - 06/30/09 at 13:07:58 You can always use extra connectors, so buy away. LOL and yes, just get the size that well fit the connections on the relay. By the way, the color of the sleeve that goes around the wire indicates the wire gauge size it fits best on. Red is what is usually used on our bikes.
