Restoring my 1982 Honda CB900F one of the battery cables from the starter solenoid is missing. I have a thin wire running right now but of course with all the amps going through it its burning up real quick.
Where can I find battery cables that can be cut and crimped with the right size connectors? looking for something like this... looks like it will cost $40-$60 to order them from somwhere in the US but im pretty sure something like this can be made locally.... I wouldn't mind replacing the old negative battery and positive battery cable at the same time

There is a huge list of junk yards in the Dealers section of this forum. I'm sure someone will have a compatible set there.
I go to A-1 Electronics near Sherway Gardens. You're probably looking for the 8 gauge power cable. Or you can upgrade to a heavier 4 gauge. You can probably reuse the old connectors if they're not soldered to the wires.

If you have a decent car audio place that does installs close by, they will have all the supplies you need.
I'm sure Lowe's or some place like it has bulk ends and you can get the wire by the foot also.

Great ideas everybody! Thanks for the tips. I think the siriusconinc place looks promising, already made nicely done cables and the audio place sounds like a good idea too, I know those guys need huge cables to handle the wattage from their stereos.
Thanks again !!

No luck with Glen he just recommended a surplus electronics store but it's a little out of my area. Gonna try contact a couple of car audio places first and see if they can help. I like what I see from that sirius place but I don't have exact measurements yet. No luck with napa automotive stores either.
I wonder what canadian tire has ... They show cables on their website of different lengths but not sure if the end pieces are the same as a bike battery has to car batteries.

Any decent auto parts store will have an assortment of ends and whatever cable you desire. For Brampton/Mississauga, John's Auto Parts, Napa, etc.
Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous. It is, however, extremely unforgiving of inattention, ignorance, incompetence, or stupidity.
You could also try any Stater and Alternator rebuilder. They usually have all the parts to make custom cables.
Princess auto has bulk cable in several different gauges available. It's beside the bulk chain and rope. They also have the "lug" terminal ends in many sizes. Pick up some shrink tube as well and you can make some nice professional looking cables in no time.
Other then that most auto parts places should carry all those parts. Tractor supply stores or other ag or industrial stores will also have them. I would avoid the car audio stores simply because you will end up paying way too much for brightly colored under sized cables

Actually come to think of it, I'm sure I have some cable in the garage that would suit your purpose if needed
