Bullet Electrical Terminal Assortment | Vintage Honda
The bullet connectors on a vintage Honda are where most harness trouble starts. The female sides crack, the metal corrodes, and a previous owner's parts-store replacements never quite fit. This assortment gives you the OE-style Japanese bullet terminals to rebuild those connections the right way.
Why You Need This
Honda used bullet connectors for the vast majority of the wire joints across the CT90 through the CB750. Over fifty years they corrode, work loose, and crack on the female side. The fix is to re-terminate them with the correct connectors, not the oversized mystery bullets you'll find at the auto parts store.
These are the high-quality terminals sourced from Japan, with the proper rubber covers so a finished repair looks like it came from the factory. The set covers the three bullet types you need for harness work: male, female, and double-female.

Installation
Difficulty: Intermediate
Tools needed: Open-barrel crimp tool (sold separately), soldering iron
- Slide the rubber boot onto the wire first. A little window cleaner helps it slide on.
- Strip the wire and crimp in three stages: the outer crimp curls around the insulation, the inner crimp grabs the bare wire, then give the inner crimp a second squeeze with the end of the tool.
- Solder the connection for a permanent joint that won't work loose.
- Slide the boot up over the finished terminal.
The suggested wire size for these terminals is 16 gauge. An open-barrel crimp tool is required to install them and is sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the crimp tool?
Yes. An open-barrel crimp tool is required to install these terminals properly, and it's sold separately. Crimping by pliers alone won't give you a reliable connection.
Do these cover the multi-pin plug connectors too?
No. This set is the single bullet terminals (male, female, and double-female). For the multi-wire plug housings, see our 3-pin, 4-pin, and 6-pin plastic wiring connectors.
Do I have to solder them?
A good crimp holds, but we recommend soldering every connection for a permanent joint that won't loosen over time.
Does this fit my CT90?
Yes. The CT90 uses the same bullet-connector harness as the larger twins, so these terminals work on it just like the CB175 through CB750.
