Kakimoto,

I found this one online, it has a little bit heavier shrink wrap on it though.

In the US you can get four of them at Home Depot for about $10, but not online.

Whether you've ever had a problem with your 77 connector or not, or even if you do replace it, it's a good idea to put some sort of voltage indicator on your Uly. It's much better to have warning of a charging system problem while the battery is still fully charged. The alternative is blissfully riding until the engine dies from a stone-dead battery.

Very true. It was my kuryakyn voltmeter that tipped me off an hour from home. Fiddling with the connector gave good enough contact to get me home, and swapping the connector before too many miles like that kept me from having to replace any components (stator, regulator, battery).

i found the RF splice kit at lowe's, and cut and hacked out the old blade style connectors, even tho they looked fine.
preventative maintenance and piece of mind
