Default What connector is this?

Does anyone know what the name of this connector is? I need to order one and I don’t know what it’s called in order to search for it. I’m going to use the auxiliary switch on the back of My Road King they sell for another use, but I don’t want to butcher the wiring already in place, so I just want to order the female side of this connector. I searched for everything I could think of, but I just can’t place it…

I think I just figured it out. It seems to be called an ATX or Tyco variant connector. It's the connector used to connect the accessory switch in the nacelle to the rest of the wiring that goes back to the Deutch connector for the Aux switch. I'm going to use it to turn on/off the cruise control for this bike since the stock switch is broke and the replacement is $65.. I've got a few other things I need to spend money on first before I drop $65 on a switch.

It's an older style connector, similar to those on my Evo. They are available from some auto electrical suppliers in component form, ie plastic parts and pins separately. You may even find them on Ebay.

It is a molex connector like the old hard drive power harnesses used to use.
