Hi
I have a GS1200 2009 and I tried to install a new odessey battery. The instructions that came with it said I need to bend the connector in a certain way to fit. I followed the instructions but unfortunately, it snapped. Clearly I'm overjoyed with this new development and thought I should go forth and procure a replacement connector.
Im still going forth but I am having no luck so far. Can anyone please point me in the right direction? My bike is dead without it. Thanks in advance

The best direction I can point you in is to post this in the 1200 section unless you've given up and selling the bike

Your best options if theres enough slack in the cable is to solder a new connector or replace the entire cable.

This place is pretty good. Might be worth calling monday morning to make sure you get the right thing. In the past they have sent things first class post to me for next day. Decision likely revolves around how you want to connect the cable to the terminal and the size of the cable
