Interesting to see that the Milspec cable is tinned. That seems to be an American thing?
I first came across it when I was doing some warranty work in the USA on a Wroxham built Oyster Yacht. The skipper could not believe that we were using non-tinned cables. It's a minimum spec for marine use in the USA. We also had to adjust the freezer down to -22 instead of -18 that we tend to use here.. Two nations divided by a common language eh?
If I start from scratch again with a harness job, I will definitely be using tinned cables as it stops the Verdigris creeping down the conductors and makes for excellent soldered joints. Especially handy for the starter cable that goes to the motor pole, which suffers badly from that.
I also really like Gold connectors, which simply do not tarnish and carry far greater current than conventional connectors. No electromagnetic noise from them either, which may or may not be of any use on a motorcycle, but does indicate a good firm clean connection.
