I am trying to find one, but without knowing what it is correctly called, it's impossible. So what is it correctly called, or does anybody have one? (the part on the radio).
 
Try looking at any parts store for installation kit or adapter. We sell those adapters at Advance Auto parts.

There is not a name of this 24 pin connector on the part nor do we know who the manufacturer of that part was.

You can probably buy the pin out/schematics online somewhere.

If you are trying to convert to an aftermarket radio, we would recommend removing the basket also then simply tie into the speaker leads….

Okay. Seems we have a communication problem. So you are attempting to connect to the existing harness to install another type radio? Why not simply remove the old male plug and solder in the desired harness?

That type of connector is known as a 24 Centronics connector. They are used in computers all the time and are used as communication ports in electronically controlled systems. You can get male or female ends.

Walmart sells just the connectors:

Centronics and d-sub are not the same size as the one used on the radio. Also the ones you mentioned have equal spacing of the contacts, but look carefully at the picture and you will see the the two ends have different spacing not equal to the rest.

Are you guessing, or have you used the connector you mentioned to connect on the bike radio ?
