Loom adapter

I am about half way through doing the streetfighter thing and have replaced the standard gauges and speedo etc with a Vapor unit which only needs about half of the normal wires in the loom around the headlight. I thought I would just cut the wires back and insulate the ones I don't need but that means reversal of the process, should it ever be required, would be a bitch. I am looking for a multiway connector so I can cut the loom and make up an adapter, anyone any ideas?

Have look on ebay / an ask about for a complete loom. I've got a spare in the garage (not for sale :wink: ) but I've seen them sell for as little as £10

that could be a route to consider. I may buy one just in case it all goes t1ts up. But I just found this lot http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu and will give them a try. They seem to have everything I need. However I think the spare loom is probably a good thing to have when I set this one on fire.

With a very small screwdriver you can get the wires you're not using out of the connectors (eventually...). And top them off with shrinking tube.
I don't like cutting in the loom, so that's how I would do it. :)
