| Pete, No need to worry about the battery cables, I replaced them with new ones. I work on UPS systems (battery backup, not the brown truck) for a large company (Liebert/Emerson) and know all about the effects corrosion can have on a system. Bob, To answer your question on the wire size and terminals, the terminlas come marked in their box for a specific wire size range they will fit. I think I have a chart somewhere that shows what gauge wire should be used depending on the amperage being drawn on that circuit. Most of your wiring on Guzzi will be 18 gauge, with some 12 gauge and 10 gauge. Crimping tools can be had in a variety of $$ amounts. The one you get at an automotive store that comes with an assortment of terminals is fine for what you do on a bike. I use a acid flux solder on just about everything I do. There are different wire types, just don't use household wire for your bike as it is too stiff for this purpose.
