Any info on where I might purchase a new 3 wire connector (like the one that connects the 3 yellow wires from stator to rectifier) for 1999 Honda shadow 1100T? 
No problem here on the 2006 vlx Phil, I never heard of the vlx experiencing this, but have read of folks having to go this route. I wonder if it's an 1100 issue, not an across the board Shadow thing.Is this an issue on all Shadows? Mine's a 1998 750ACE and I have not had that failure. Is it something I should anticipate?

Anticipate? Without a doubt. Next time you're doing some maintenance, check the condition of your connector. When I did (years ago; photos below), I found that mine had been nicely cooking despite showing no signs of failure. Had I not anticipated, I'm sure I would have encountered a failure eventually.Is this an issue on all Shadows? Mine's a 1998 750ACE and I have not had that failure.

Just curious what is a wrist or handshake connector?You can use wrist or handshake connector they work 90% better than push type wire connector, solder any connector after crimping it. I used handshake connectors and slid 3 sections of heat shrink over the new connectors due to the rectifier going bad, I ordered two so to have a backup.
