Sometimes you get lucky if you type the complete part number into Google.

You never know who is advertising parts out there!

The trip grommet was never available as a separate part, however I do have an an alternative. It's a cable grommet and a sleeve that goes on the shaft. It works well and keeps the wet out. Does not look the same of course but many have been fitted without a problem. Send me a pm if you want one, I'm sure I have an image of a speedo with this grommet fitted.

My brothers speedo got trashed when a white van ran his 400 over last month- Over a grands-worth on damage for a 5mph impact but with these old bikes, the cost is still yet to rise..
