Default O2 sensor connector?

what is the O2 connector type (brand and number) for a 21 softail? I need to check the disconnect instructions... don't want to break it.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I think that the looks of the connector better match the previous Molex shop manual image (not sure about the multiple wires ) but the shop manual matches MX 50 "sealed connector latch. Have you taken this connection apart before? I have had mixed results removing the O2 sensor from the bung so I thought that the connector disconnect might be safer.

That picture from the manual is a generic one for the Molex 150, they all come apart the same no matter how many connections they have & yes I have removed quite a few from the O2 sensors, they are nothing special or that sensitive, as for removing the sensor from the pipes, it is basically do not twist the cable, do not drop the sensor & do not get any contaminates on the actual sensor itself and replace the sealing washer.

The one that at which I am looking has the release tab on the bottom of the connection so I am inclined to remove the sensor. I have a sensor socket that won't fit between the bung and the engine but if I can expect a limited amount of torque I will use your advice... not too sure I understand how to avoid twisting the cable. Hope I can get new washers...

Thank you very much for sharing your experiences.
