What is this contact type called, a male and a female part?

 
 
Male.  Nomenclature follows the conducting pins in this case.

Maybe some more information would help. What are you attempting,
  • Building your own harness?
  • Repairing your existing?
You would be surprised how durable the OEM connectors. Look for harness that have connectors with bright colors, and examine them closely to make sure the locking tabs are intact. Another reason for repurposing an old harness is, to date I don’t think any member here has found the replacement bullet terminals to go in the connector. You may have to cut the connector off intact with short leads of wires and solder and shrink wrap that unit to your existing harness.

PMC, (Performance Motorcycle Creative) sold or maybe owned by Webike in Japan sells replacement harnesses. It’s possibly you my be able to track down a contact for customer service and send an email. Here is a replacement stator harness sold by Webike branded as PMC. It has the blue 6 pin you’re looking for. I have minimal experience with the aftermarket harnesses but I don’t remember the new locking into the OE. Your best bet to match your new center harness would be aftermarket connectors.

I am in the process of replacing large parts of the electrical wiring and am using parts from PMC. Stator cable with blue connector linked to her I will buy, brown connector is on the main cable package. Then I only need a white and green contact, but I had hoped I could avoid buying everything except the contact itself.

What're the chances the connectors could be 3D printed?

I don't see it listed, but I would contact this site and see if they can help.  At least they may be able to tell you the manufacturer and part family.

Great Mind’s think alike. I emailed them about this Saturday but haven’t seen a reply yet.

Cycle terminal responded. They think it is a Mitsubishi connector, using PYC style terminals. This is as close as I get so far.

I have a few more emails out waiting on responses.
