Autocom, are bulkhead connectors available?

[nharrisn]

Trying to decide between Autocom or Starcom1, they both have pretty much the same functions I need but what puts the Starcom1 ahead in my thinking is the optional bulkhead connectors with weatherproof caps as these make for a very clean and professional looking install. I don't want to have cable connectors hanging in the breeze when i'm not plugged in. I thought I would just double check here first if anyone knew if bulkhead connectors are available for Autocom, may be from another source, before I make my final decision on which system to buy.

Thanks

I believe Autocom might be introducing something that will have the same effect as a bulkhead connector in the near future.
In the meantime I use Autocom clips (Autocom part number 1550) to stop the cables flapping in the breeze.
I have certainly heard of folks making up bulkhead connectors for Autocom.

For safety reasons we do not recommend the bulkhead style fittings as in flush fitted sockets. We always recommend a flexible connection just in case you were in a crash you will disconnect from the bike safely and not be dragged along the bike as you would do with a fluch fit.

Other small details like if the plug gets water into it the water will stay in the plug, as with a flexible connection the water can be shaked out. Also if you sell you bike at a later date at least with uor connections they are not something that is not fitted for life which could also effect the after sales of the bike.

As John has said our "P Clips" Part 1550 are the only attachments we sell to hold our plugs in place.
