Sometimes you can wrap a small zip-tie around the connector to keep the 2 halves from separating. If that is not practical, a dab of silicone adhesive on the outside of the connector would do it and still be removable if you need to disconnect it later.
Do you have any pictures of the connector?

Thank you for your quick reply! I've thought about the silicone thing too. The circuit board and the plug are so deep between the tank halves that you have to have the hands of a micro plastic surgeon. I'll put some pics in.. Best regards from Germany

It looks like the dark half on the board (male end) is supposed to lock onto the other side of the white connector with that locking tab ( bit of overhang) on the left side. Perhaps if you plugged it back in and then slid a small flat head screwdriver in between that plug and the one next to it with the black/ blue/black wires you could seat that locking tab with a slight twist. Assuming that the female side of the connector isn't damaged.
otherwise, I'd be inclined to go with a dab of silicone adhesive to "glue" it to the relay right next to it. Don't get any on the pins.

Hello Brother Scum,

first of all thanks for your tips! That will be implemented. I read that you have a clue too. Another question: do you happen to know how I set up a COMPU-FIRE ignition? I'll insert a picture. I haven't found anything about it here in Germany.
 
I have a 1998 California Motorcycle Company (CMC) Stingrey built on a softail frame. This garage queen has just over 5000 miles on her and runs like new but is a bit cold blooded. I understand CMC became Indian or some such thing. I would like to get some history on CMC and their scooters from that time period.
Any old timers like me out there?

The CMC StingRey is a '99 and it actually has Indian stickers on the downtubes on the frame. Also has the teardrop headlight up front so I believe she's probably one of the last CMCs out there....Just prior to the company switching over to the Indian name.
I have 7 Harleys total and right now I think the CMC is the favorite.
The S&S engine hauls strong. I'm
including a Jim's 120 with a 135" big bore kit in the comparisons too.

Cmc was a california motorcycle company that sold out to Indian in 95. Before that they made custom built harley lookalikes. I done research on them when I acquired a 97 cmc stingray! Which by the way was named personally after the cmc owner ray setelio,who resigned from Indian motorcycle company in 2002 due to being charged with embezzlement!
 
This is my 1999 Indian Wanderer made by CMC. I have had the same problems trying to gather any information on the bike. The VIN doesn't come back on any search I've done. The serial number on the S&S Engine does show up on S&S Motors website. The bike is exactly as it was built in 1999 without any modifications to include the paint. All original.

That's an interesting bike. I have never heard of the Wanderer. Maybe it was a prototype or demo for a model that they never wound up making?

Foot-stand is an eagle's talon.
I got in touch with Ray a year or so ago and his guys gave me a little info on what was factory and what was added on. Lots of Arlen Ness stuff came on it, but it's showing it's age.
Insured for $9k, but I have no idea what it's really worth as there are so few of these around.
