    Try David Silver Spares, they're very efficient. If you can't get the part number from the broken part or online fiches, they'll find it and quote you.

    Bought a new one from a local Honda dealer in June just before my big trip as mine had been "fixed" with insulating tape by the previous owner! Come the summer and the hot weather and it dropped off!

    Cost me about £13 for a new one. however this was broken off by a "helpful mechanic in Fes, Morocco who then proceeded to knock up a replacement out of bits of other bikes!

    Think that's on its way out now too, so I'll be after another replacement very soon!
