Crimp tool
After searching the net for all the components to assemble my own harness upgrades, and realizing how much I would spend and how much extra I would have left over, I decided to go with a finished product for the common electrical upgrades. Also I decided that some of the pre-made harnesses would still need to be customized to suit my OCD.
This lead me to searching for a crimp tool that would do all the tasks I expected to need done. I finally decided on this. Found the best price here
Motorcycle Terminals, Connectors, and Wiring Accessories
Extremely pleased with with the the crimps it does and not too much of a learning curve to achieve good crimps. Trimming the ears that grip the insulation to match the wire and insulation thickness was a big part of learning how to. Very high quality Tool. Made in Sweden.
Here are a couple of practice crimps.
You can see how the top terminal ears that grip the insulation are a bit short. In all not quite factory, but close enough (for me).
Here is a Y harness that I made for joining together my GSX-R mirrors and future flush mounts. It would be a lot more difficult to do without the crimp tool.
I also bought some terminal extraction tools to help do all the mods to the stock and pre-made harnesses. Jewelers screw drives and flattened paper clips don't work nearly as well.

funny you posted this, as I just installed new blinkers last night and realized how crappy off the shelf connectors are. Have you tried this with the pin type connectors like the deutsch or amphenol ones?
