I think what Snarf meant was that there are two bullets for each location.

I found a cheap socket at radio shack and mounted it in my topcase so I can charge my phone on the fly and itll be safe and soundi nside the case.  I drilled a tiny hole in the case, added a grommet and made the wires quick disconnect so I can still remove the case easy (not like I ever remove the case anyway).

The previous owner evidently tapped into and existing wire set to connect the outlet on my fairing, but it is hard mounted so I cannot easily remove the fairing. I can only remove it partially. Eventually I will fix that by using the twist connectors (brain fart, I can't remember the name). Then I can easily remove the fairing, or at least easier.

I hope you're not talking about wire nuts!? Buy some propper insulated male/female crimp connectors or a pair of SAE connectors and solder and shrink wrap them in.

Where is a good place to buy the SAE connectors? Most of the ones I see on eBay, etc. are quite small wire gauge like 16 - 18. I would like to get some with beefier wires, although I'm not sure what the current rating for the actual connectors is. Anybody know?

I would just check the local auto parts store, or even a department store with a decent auto section. NAPA has several in the trailer towing section of their catalog, part # NW 784640, it's also 18ga. There are a few others as well.
