I've been trying to identify the model of that round connector for a few weeks now with no luck. I've been going through Digikey and all the usual suspects but I cannot figure out what it is. Will be very interested if you manage to identify.
It's working!

It's loud - great as it will also alert the ear-budded pedestrian at junctions. Now that it's working, my next finessing will be to ground it to the + of the brake bulb wiring so that it is silent when the brake lever is pulled at stops.
I got fed up looking for a suitable male connector / trying to get something to fit and stay in the sockets. So I just cut the wires far enough back that I can re-join at any time. It's all working beautifully, with the switched "+" white wire used but as I'd like the power socket/ battery tender to be unswitched..... here's me last question......
Question: Among the 7 wires that remain uncut, there doesn't seem to be a Red/Blue wire as shown in the 2008 diagram - the unswitched 12 V "+".
To avoid being like the guy in that movie, Juggernaut "Cut the blue!", does anyone know which of the remaining 7 wires is the unswitched 12v+?
I've already used these 4:
Pink & White (Flasher)
Blue (Flasher)
Black - Ground
White -Switched "+"
Thanks to all for the various explanations - I think this is an amazing safety modification and one that should be standard on all models. I can understand though what Rome might sound like with 100,000 beepers! Oddly I was in Italy a few weeks ago and was amazed that Honda and Yamaha were the predominant scooters there. Vespas were really in the minority.
