I've got to make a new headlight loom for the k and I don't really want to go about chopping up the rest of the loom. However can't find it anywhere or something similar that could connect.

Anyone got any ideas or know where I can purchase it from possibly Question

That connector looks like a few female bullet connectors encased in plastic, although with the bike being a beemer they'll be an odd size, no doubt.

In the past I've just bought a generic connector and made up new male and female parts.

I've used these people before, although there are plenty of others doing the same stuff:-

Where is the part of the loom that plugs into that connector? If you have the bit of original loom why not chop the connector off and use it? Not like you are ever going to put the bike back to original. Even if you do it's just a case of solder and heat shrink to put it back.

If you want to spend more, you can buy waterproof AMP Tycho types but you may also need to get the correct crimp and pin removal tools

Thank you for the replies everyone looks like I'm going have to bodge something together don't really fancy cutting up both sides as I'm not the best with wiring so might take a few days to do the replacement loom.

On the k100 the loom is made up of 3 sublooms and a main loom. This boot is what's connecting the front loom to the main. Don't really fancy cutting it up because if I can't do the whole thing in a day then it means the bike has no electrics at the front. That consists of (indicators, horns, headlight).
