I am building a new twin motor bike. I really wanted the extra cell as opposed to 6s, it should push the voltage closer to the e-bike kits limit. I really want to do some off-roading. So I ordered 10 7s 5000 mAh Zippy Compact packs. They don't show the balance wires in the pictures but I assumed they were one connector. I even checked first to see if Buddy RC had 7s balance wires and they listed them. But when the packs arrived they have two separate balance leads. I called Buddy RC and he seemed stumped also. Anybody got any good ideas?

Redundant wires. One wire is - while another is + of the same cell. Identify which and move everything over to 7S (8 pin) housing. Cut or shrinkwrap the redundant wire.
 
Ok that's what I thought. I was hoping there was some kind of stock solution, as in a pre made housing for both. I appreciate it greatly.
 
Yup, I pretty much have to change all the connectors. I am going to Andersons because they have 5.5 mm bullet connectors and all the paralleling stuff I have for 6s is 4 mm. But I have been using the Anderson power distribution blocks and they make for a clean look. thanks again guys...
