This spring I want to replace the wiring for all the electrical add-ons I have installed on my wing. This will be for all the extra lights (50 watt fog lights in lower fairing & 50 watt driving lights below the mirrors), heated grips, GPS, power supply plugs, anything added that is not stock. I will be using different color wire for each accessory and a common color for all the ground wires.
A separate fuse block is already used for the accessories, but I will be moving the fuse block to the bottom of the trunk, above the CB.
For connectors I will be using Hitachi connectors from E/C:

I will use the special tool from E/C to make the crimps. All the wiring to the trunk fuss block will pass through another Hitachi connector located under the seat.
My question is will 14 gauge wire be OK for all of this? And will 14 gauge work with the Hitachi connectors?
Besides looking more professional, I want it easy to unplug anything if I need to remove fairings, trunk, or other parts without having a bunch of wires hanging loose.
