Sad to say, but I got a semi when I stumbled across this site...

Ok, so it's in the US, but that means bargains galore.

Woof!

Seems very expensive to me, even with the exchange rate.

Main KZ,
I've been using their terminals for a few years now and the quality is very good. The crimping tool they offer is one of the best designs around.
The best for me was, I've finally located a supply of the black outher sheath thanks to this post. Havent been able to find this ever and have just ordered a supply.
You little beauty Main KZ ........... good stuff :D

Aw shucks!
Yeah - the high gloss sleeving was what I liked most - let me know whether it lives up to expectations - my handlebar switch looms need re-doing.

Happy to go in with you on an order if it's not too late??....

I've already ordered 10ft of each and it was under 10 pounds with postage so not bad pricing. Also I'm in Oz so couldn't do a share. I will need other sizes into the future. I've been using shrinkwrap black and it's great product but the finish, unlike factory, is dull but it's worthwile doing under the plastic.
Interstingly, I've been scavaging the bike wreckers for all these years to get pieces but this new stuff will be nice and pliable to work with.
