Not sure this is applicable to a '93, but it's worked decently on a '98:

The change is rather subtle, drop me a note if you don't catch it.

The starter relay on my 93 fried the connections to the wiring harness
and I need some of the collective knowledge of the list. I have checked
the Reg/Rec and it looks okay but I may have them check at the dealers
when I run over there (probably won't cost me anything). What else
should I check? What are my options on replacing the relay and
connector (besides getting another wiring harness)?

Thanks,

Best bet is to go to a boneyard and find a bike with a suitable relay
and cut the connector off the harness to go with it. Then you can
splice it into your wire harness. Otherwise there is no other way to
obtain said connector without purchasing an entire wire harness. I've
got a relay off of a different Honda sitting on the shelf, I think it
was a cbr600. Don't remember the year. Anyway, I discovered that it
wouldn't work in my VFR750 because the positive and negative terminals
were reveresed and the terminals on the ends of the pos/neg wires on the
VFR are tabbed so as to only fit on one side. So I ended up buying a
new relay from honda so that the power leads would connect without
trouble. Then I discovered that the 4 wires in the connector that had
melted on mine were not in the same positions. So I had to swap them.
Make sure you check and correct the position of the wires if you do what
I did and buy a connector off a different bike.
