Changing the voltage regulator on my 07 Firebolt (connection melted) and i dont have a crimping tool. Let alone the HD ones recommended in the manual. What kind of crimper should i get ? Any other advice from you who have done it before is appreciated.

Cant wait to put the bike back on the road,..now more then ever.

ps. posted on xb, but people are understandably worried about bigger things right now.

(pasted from XB)

Just finished it. Was pretty easy.

Did not use any dielectric grease since i wasn't sure (i forgot to buy it also and was itching to get the bike running). Bought two different kinds of cheap crimpers (all they had) and a good pair of thin nose pliers. Almost perfect crimp.

Thank you all guys. Now i'm going for a ride and to buy some Buell paraphernalia at the HD dealership.
