Default Damaged ECM connector, PLEASE HELP

I have a 2007 Nightster and I relocated the ECM that was under the seat when I pulled the fender off. Well the rear tire rubbed through the gray connector that attaches to the ECM. Does anyone know where I can get this part??? Bike is out of commission till I get this part so please help so I can get back on the road!

Can you post a picture of the damage? If its just the plastic you can reshape the connector with plastic weld. This does not mean weld it together. Or if the wires are damaged they shouldn't be difficult to fix. Picture of damage is needed tho.

thank you for replying guys. ya its like the actual connectors and wiring that is jacked up. my rear tire got ahold of it and completely yanked it from the ECM. My ECM looks to be ok but this plug is done as far as I know.

Looks like the connector comes apart. See if you can open it up. Should be able to find round pin connectors at local parts house. Crimp them on and give it a touch of solder. Place pins with a dab of superglue back into connector. Zip ties and black electrical tape should hold it together. Find a wiring diagram to make sure you get them in the right place. When soldering don't put to much on. Solder creates resistance and may give the ecm false readings. Good luck!

no way of just replacing the whole thing I guess?? If it comes to this I am taking it in cause that is more than I want to do on my own. Not a fan of electrical.
