Default Good source for wiring supplies?

I'm about to place an order at EasternBeaver.com for a fuse block and associated connectors, but I'm hoping to find them locally so I can install them sooner. Any ideas? Radio Shack seems to fall short in this department, at least from what I can tell online.

I don't know about your area, but there are some electronic component shops and some autoparts and motorcycle accessories shops that usually have what I need.

That is a good find Rowdy, I'm going to bookmark this site. I especially like the "Factory" crimped connectors. I have given up on any connector that you have to manually crimp for a bike, I just solder it now, but this stuff looks good and not to pricey.

Yeah, it is good stuff. I installed their relay kit after I put my Hella headlights in and it made a big difference. See my website for more.

I think I'll just order the stuff.

Round here there's boating supply stores everywhere they have marine grade stuff (of course) and the electrical stuff is usually 12v ... it’s usually the first place I check for hard to find good quality automotive type electrical stuff for my rides. I find the quality of the stuff exceeds that of the items you'll find at radio shack... not sure if they've got something like above ... but its where i'd check first.

I've tried that... the "marine grade" stuff that they stock around here is usually "made in taiwan" cheapo sheetmetal crap. Good idea, though.

damn .. that sucks ... I usually have luck at the http://www.westmarine.com/ and the http://www.boatersworld.com/ retail sotres ... other then that, I'm not sure where I'd look ... I'd probably try the Salvo auto parts, advanced auto, pep-boys, and autozone stores next. ... after that, then i'd try electrical supply stores like branch electric and the like.
