These connectors are a direct replacement for the ones on the later triples and are sold as ten M/F pairs each with clear insulation for just over ?4 (including UK shipping). They are more professional than the Halfords/Homebase red/blue/yellow insulated crimp type and cheaper than having to buy a big bag of each type (which is usually the case with crimps):

Originally there was no clear insulation on the male bullets but the male side insulation included seals perfectly with the original female insulation and helps keep water out..

 
I buy them in boxes of 100 from an electrical supplier about 5 mins walk from where I work. I can't remember the price but it's not much - maybe around $20. That eBay bloke is making something like 300% profit selling them 10 at a time for ?3.41

Yes you are 100% correct on this (RS/Farnells for example are much, much cheaper on a per unit basis if you get through many of these). My post was more for information to anyone who needs no more than a few of these every few years or so, giving the seller a bit more margin for the hassle of providing 10 OEM quality connections isn't a bad thing in my book (especially when it's only ?4 and they fit these bikes perfectly).

These (male or female) crimps can also serve as ferrules for the main terminal connector wires - crimp on the wire end as usual and clip off the male or female tip with side cutters leaving a crimped ferrule.
