Just bought a 07 Buell blast, the front turn signals were broken so I replaced them with some after market turn signals. I'm having some trouble with the wiring, when I test the turn signals out they dont always work, I have to fiddle with the connections to make them work. Any advice on how to make a SOLID & stable connection? THANKS!

well, if you don't have the correct connectors, you can either use wire nuts to tie the wires together, or solder the wires together. Or the least correct way would be to use electrical tape.

How do you have them connected together now?

I have the right connectors. They arent as secure as the stock, obviously. I thought electrical would do for a temporary solution, but obviously I'm wrong.

If you have the right connectors, they shouldn't be loose. Can you squeeze them with a crimper to make them tighter?
