Wire Harness Repair

i need to repair certain parts of my harness.

first off, the starter relay has a plug that goes into it. a previous owner has cut the plug and installed a bunch of spade connectors in its place and i would like to put a new plug on it. is that a common part amongst hondas or possibly other brands? i can go steal one off of a katana if i have to. forgive me if that is blasphemy.

also, once again the previous owner has cut the plugs that come from the alternator and spliced them together with the harness. can i purchase these plugs? is it better to have them hardwired anyway? how would i remove them if my stator goes south?

also, i dont have a R/R on this bike. apparently it went bad and was tossed and not replaced. (this bike is not running btw) i was thinking of getting a replacement and putting one of those CPU water cooler things on it and running a small radiator up front to cool the R/R. anyone tried this? u can buy cpu cooling units for less than 150 if you are smart about it.

thanks in advance!

There's no need to get a water-cooled r/r setup, unless you really feel like geeking it up. A good quality CPU fan attached directly to the r/r ought to do ya fine. Hey, maybe you could immerse it in liquid nitrogen (like I saw some guys do once with a motherboard)!
