Looking at the diagram it looks like that part, although bolting on separately, doesn't have it's own part number. Hopefully some of the old timers here can offer more advice, and maybe have one of 'those there things' off of an old bike.

Good luck!

thanks.....

ya know...i was all over that site and completely missed that assembly. my search skills kinda suck.

it appears it might be the 'gear box'. though mine bolts on in 2 places. $112.42 indeed. Shocked

if i can't buy one off someone here, i'll just snag an old speedo off ebay i guess.

feel stupid. not only did i break this here thing, i dented my tank. not a good day for dumb butt.

sorry to hear that. i am overly cautious about my bike (it's my first) and although I haven't had a big boo-boo, get mad when I do something I know I should have known better (e.g. scratch my windshield laying it on the concrete garage floor).

Maybe post a wanted on the marketplace with the link to the image and your pic and explain what you need...these folks are great and I am sure someone will come to your rescue.

Serowbot has the answer!

I have used jb weld for lots of stuff and it is great...just let it cure like the directions say and it's solid as a rock. I have used it on my bike on the rear light casing to rebuild the receiving end of a screw hole thingy...it is great on plastics as well as metals. Just clean off any slippery stuff with maybe some rubbing alcohol (to remove oils, etc.) and give it a shot...what do you have to lose since it is already broken?
