accessory socket

[Westernbiker]

Ok, I found a number of different accessory sockets.
OEM part number 08E70-MJG-670 at around $70.00 t0 $80.00 I do see that this socket has an extra something (fuse/regulator etc..) in-line on the wiring harness. This socket plugs right into existing motorcycle harness.
Hondaline Part number HL-08U55-MCA-101 at around $37.00 does not have extra something in wiring harness. This socket plugs right into existing motorcycle harness.
Show Chrome about $10.00 to $20.00 dollars. This socket plugs right into existing motorcycle harness.
Value Accessories about $10.00 to $20.00 dollars. This socket plugs right into existing motorcycle harness.
I kind of want to go with the OEM but $70.00 for it is tough to take.
Which one did you put on your 'B' and do you like it?
Or which one would you go for?

yep the less expensive show chrome is what I have. After over a year seems to work fine.

The hardest thing for me was trying to find a 7/8" drill bit. Said forget it and filed the rest of the way. cueman

Yes! . Any of you not familiar with step drills or bits, this advice should not be overlooked. You can get a set of them cheap now from places like Harbor Freight. For drilling larger holes in plastic, nothing is better .

I got the one from Honda only because I was spending the $1000 dollar accessory money. If I was buying out of pocket, I too would have bought one of the much less expensive options.


I use uni-bits or "step bits" often. I have a couple of sizes. Good ones are not cheap. They are usually 40- 60 dollars a piece. One from Harbor Freight may work for the occasional user at home though. I use them professionally and bits do tend to be an item where you get what you pay for. That being said, I have bought a fairly large complete set of regular bits from Harbor Freight I use in my home shop and they have been ok.
