Default Trying To Find an Oddball Wire Connector

I am trying to find a quick release, somewhat water tight, wire connector to hook up a couple of gauges in my new fairing, I am also going to add a couple more speakers down the road so I will need a quick connect for that also.
I have included a picture of the connector that came with my fairing and I am trying to find something similar to it, I'm sure this kind of connector has some technical name and I have tried everything I can think of on the internet and can't find anything but trailer connectors.
If any one has seen or knows what type of connector this is I would appreciate hearing from you.

Is there no name enscribed anywhere on the connector? You may be better off changing it over to a Deutz or one of the other readily available maufactured connectors.

This is custom connector for the fairing this one has 2 12 gauge and 1 14 gauge wire. I don't want to replace this connector I just want to add another wiring harness with a similar connector so I looks OK.

Yea, I assumed that...probably battery connections right? I'm saying if you can't find a mfg. of that particular connector, go with a good brand name watertight like Deutz when you build your additional harness. Electrical stuff can be real tough to find.
Did you try contacting the fairing mfg and ask them whose connector it is?

Deutsch = Connectors

Deutz = Engines

My bad if Deutz happens to make connectors

Good Lord I'm not looking for a Douche connector I'm trying to find a connector that looks like the one in the picture. It needs to take any where from 2-6 14 gauge wires.

Understood....and I still say, if the connector itself is not identifiable. I think your best shot is to contact the fairing mfg. and ask them whose connector it is.
Unfortunately, the electrical industry is probably the toughest of the parts suppliers to get a handle on.

I buy many eletronic parts from here, I don't think they will have your particular application but most of the staff has many years of experience and may be able to assist you if you shoot them an email with the picture attached. Good luck, hope it works out.

I do understand you are wanting the same type plug.
However, from what you said
I just want to add another wiring harness with a similar connector so I looks OK.
Maybe something they offer will do what you want, they even carry a cover to help with moisture.
