Funny you mention that I was thinking of seeing if I can order one at Yamaha, for a spare. What year is your bike? I would think it would be the same up to '92.

Anything 83-84 is the same, so LC2 or 31k would be what i would be looking for.

The tubes are similar to other Yamaha models. You might have to cut the end open to accommodate the bar ends. Start by looking at bikes with the same style of switches. I can't remember what I got last time, possibly DT200?
