On my newly acquired '80 XS which has an Mgadget system, the front indicators are connected to the loom with the connector pictured below. Can anyone tell me what type of connector this is and most importantly, how its female pins are removed from the housing?

Its an XS 650 site, but this falls into the "other brands" category. Moderators, tell me to cease and desist if this thread is inappropriate for this site. Many moons ago when I bought my son's first bike (a Yamaha PW 50), I got a Rupp minibike sorta rolling chassis thrown into the deal...

Call me crazy, but there is a plan to resurrect this 1983 Special wreck. Why, you say? Reasonable question, given its state. I would like to build a "custom" but don't want to cut up or irreversibly modify my '77 XS D, so this is my blank canvas. The Bad: - seized, incomplete engine - cut up...

Looking for the subject part, preferably from a Canadian member to simplify the transaction Tom

Hey guys, Newbie here with lots of interest and questions for the remarkable body of knowledge that I am finding on this site. Been mechanically inclined since my teens (that was a long, long time ago !) and have only recently gotten into bikes. Have been riding an XT350 for a couple of seasons...
