Deutsch pin size
#11
Your local dealer will be able to tell you. I just picked up a dozen when I replaced my headlight bucket. There about a buck each! Also I am going out on a limb but I think the actual pins are all the same size? I think the only difference is the number or pins in the connector.

I rigged up a hot wire for my GPS connector and plugged into the deutsch plug under the seat of my 09 Low Rider. I got the plug from Auto Zone and you can find them on their web page. I don't have the paperwork but the metal piece that the plugs were on is stamped 16-18. I think it was just a 4 pin Deutsch plug.
edit: Just checked the Auto Zone site and I can't find the 4 pin connector but you might check your local Auto Zone store as they can have one next day.

Don't know what you're going to hook up, but as I recall 2 of the wires are accessory, one is lights (I think) and one is ground. Don't remember if both of the accessory wires are switched but at least one of them is. You can use a test light if you want to operate something with the ignition switch. I'm pretty much of a klutz in the mechanic department but it was a pretty straight forward setup and it works.

Having read the other replies, if you only want a few parts your local dealer can supply them. Obviously they have a parts list! These things are available from electrical stores and may be cheaper than from your Harley dealer, but they are not expensive wherever you get them. Getting them from a dealer ensures you have the correct size!

Deutsch connector & pin info
Yes...it's a stock plug in the harness under the seat. If you lifted your seat and pulled it out it would be the only 4 pin rubber caped deutsch plug under there. DT04-4P is stamped on the plug. I'll take a pic and post it up when I get home. I know which plug receptacle to get just not sure what size sockets to get so it will plug up.

Deutsch DT04-4P receptacle connector
Mating connector: Deutsch DT06-4S Connector 4 cavity

Pin size varies from male pin terminal size 14 - 14-/16 gauge (green band) and female socket terminal size 14 - 14/16 gauge
to male pin terminal size 16 16/18/20 gauge (no band) and female socket terminal size 16 - 16/18/20 gauge
My advice: open the Deutsch connector in the way it's shown by mud (IMO he used 16/18; check this image) and SC-Longhair and determine if there's a green band or not and you'll know what size to use.....
Edit: Did an additional search and found this:
My guess these connecters mate the connector we have on our Dyna's. Buy yourself the pins (less then USD 1,50) at your local dealer's and check them out....

Thank for the info FXD2003Rider. I've got it all figured out now. Not getting them from Harley as I want to get a two pin plug as well and some wire loam and stuff. Plus the place I found on line is cheaper.
I have a tool from making plug wires that should work. This will be a winter project so I have time to get it right.
In case anyone is wandering. This plug is a switched (on with ignition) and fused power source. 3 hot leads and 1 ground. At least on my 2010 it is.
