Been there done that to many times. Now I always wire in an extra fusebox and relay
I like these as they look factory and blend in well

I wish Guzzi new what superseal connectors were as they face far to many molex plugs in to the wind and rain.

mike the bike:
You can always bin the Molex plugs and fit Superseal Mick. Best get the proper ratchet crimps though.

I wasn't impressed with the connectors in the first place being not at all waterproof.
I binned those in favour of Superseal connectors and haven't had any bother since

I've used the Superseal Connectors on our Jeeps- it took me a coupe of goes to fit the connectors correctly - suitably soldered rather than crimped fiddly to fit but worth the effort. Not sure mine were the real deal or Chinese copies !
