I have both, a nos left hand ear and the rubber. Unfortunately I am bed bound for the next few weeks and trying to get my missus to find it isn’t feasible. If you’re still looking when I finally can walk again drop me a PM.

I think there is/was someone making aftermarket ones a couple of years back.

320 euros plus taxes? And of course p&p and then most likely import duties. I’d take £300 for my pair of genuine Honda ones,  assuming of course my memory isn’t faulty and I still have them both.

Thank you all for your help I can get a pair of repros on ebay (£140), but was hoping to get just the one I need and of course the top seal which is not available anywhere.

The repros do not match the originals, the originals are chromed, the repros are not. So over time the difference will become more and more apparent. Just so you know.

I have a box full of ear rubbers, collected over the years, got at least 3-4 of the one you want but can’t walk to get them yet, the missus could het them but the boxes on top of them are to heavy for her to lift. Wait a few weeks and I can help.
