Having received the crimper, regulator/rectifier, and connectors it was time to implement Eskort's connector fix.
The first step was to remove the old regulator/rectifier, which is under the front fairing left side panel. The plug into the wiring harness is underneath the tank, so unbolting the front tank bolt and propping up the tank is necessary.

I did a bit of experimenting with the old regulator/rectifier to see if I could get the plug off without cutting the wires, and it turns out it is possible. By going into the front of the connector with a mini-screwdriver and pressing a metal tab, the connector will slide out of the white plug. This gives a little bit extra wire to play with, in case something went wrong with the aftermarket connector installation.
Out of time, to be continued...
