Question Need help identifying connector brand / type...

Bike is a 1999 Softail Custom / FXSTC. I am looking for assistance in identifying the type / brand of the dash connector sitting under the tank panel. Pics below...





I've got a temporary run to the a tach that I'd like to integrate into the harness connection. There appear to be two open slots. I am very familiar and comfortable working with Deutsch Connectors - this one is new territory for me.

Thanks in advance for the help here!

Fantastic! One step closer to a super clean install.

Look like I need:
AMP Pin: 73190-96
AMP Socket: 73191-96

Really appreciate the help - thanks!

Surprisingly those pins are available at the dealership and super cheap. I would go with the picture and response above, probably get back out for under $5. Yeh you could go on Amazon and buy a kit of 100 pins, but if you only need two, go to dealership. Buy two extras they are small and difficult to crimp properly especially your first time, good luck.

Thanks - that’s the plan for today. I intend to pick-up a few extras for practice.

Amazon Amazon
With crimper like this there will be nothing difficult. Probably need some plier adjustments on back crimp to make it fit easier into housing.

Thanks again - it's on the way!

Dealer had the pins in stock. This weekend I suspect the wiring will be all buttoned-up proper-like.

Really appreciate the help and direction here..

Talking Feelin' good!

Crimper arrived and I got to work - first try!



Ran the new tach wire through the existing harness in the dash and into the AMP connector.



Similar treatment with the connector at the frame - everything buttoned-up and looking like it came from the factory that way.

Thanks again for the help with this!
