My local dealer has literally ONE of these connectors in stock. I was wondering if this was a common connector that I could just find at a local auto parts store or maybe Radio Shack? Anyone know this for sure?
Also, I thought this might be helpful.
Here's a website of a company that looks to make many of the connectors for VTwins:

From the same website here's a PDF link showing the OEM part numbers and the company's corresponding part number.

Posting this info up as an FYI -- thanks to mud once again -- he pointed me in the right direction for the additional parts I needed.
I'm putting some Kuryakyn mini LED bullet rear turn signals on the bike.
When you remove the pins from the amp connector using mud's directions in this thread, you'll need the additional parts number below in order to attach NEW pins to the new turn signals. Otherwise you're still in a situation where you're cutting/soldering wire from your original stock signals in order to wire the new signals in to the amp connector. That defeats the whole purpose of not cutting wires to begin with.
Now I just have to figure out what kind of crimper tool to use in order to attach these pins to the wire correctly... yay.

Bry, you're going to get the housings as well. Right?? or no.
I made my own crimper from a pair of flea market dykes.
peanut gallery can come up with some real good comments on the terminology *flea market dykes*.........
Have a look at the link below.........
I haven't used this tool on the AMPs. made it for Deutsch.
should work. may need slight modification for AMP.
Keep us updated.............

I didn't damage the one amp connector housing too bad but I'll probably replace it anyway just to be on the safe side. The second housing that I'll take off tonight I'll just be careful with.
I've already got the turn signals mounted and all the wiring run, I just have to cut the wire to length, crimp on the pins, insert them in the amp connectors, slather on some dielectric grease and put everything back together.
As far as the crimper tool, I found one for $9.99 at Radio Shack, which I'm leaving work now to pick up. I think I could make one like you did but for $10 bucks I think it's a good investment. For once Radio Shack is cheaper than Harbor Freight...... who-da thunk it.

All done -- thanks again. It was a pain in the butt only because it was my first time, but I see how mud says you can do this the right way in less time than cutting soldering. That's very true.

How is no one taking the opportunity to have a little fun with "flea market dykes"???
Let's see.......
1) Were the flea market dykes as cheap as I suspect they are?
2) Is it possible to be a flea market dyke AND go both ways?
3) I wonder how the dutch feel about "flea market dykes".
4) Was there ever a need or opportunity to put your finger in the flea market dyke? Possibly a leak in the dyke?
Bry, glad it all worked out for you and the new lights look good. Quite a bit smaller than stock. Can you throw a pic of them with power?
