Do you mean the weird honda-split plug things on the inside near the rads?

If you do then the best tip is to replace them with heavy duty zip ties! The plug things are naff and dont produce a very stable fit, the zip ties do and wont ever come off!

(all credit to ben for this wicked tip!)

(ps- it doesnt work with pillions...d`oh)
