Help! Where can I get one of these?

The bar end weight kit and spacer mysteriously disappeared from my wife's DL650 (AL2 2012) while parked at Leyburn. I can source the bar end weight kit but not the spacer which goes between the throttle and the plastic handguard kit.
The picture shows clutch lever side.
Does anybody out there know where I can source one?
Cheers m'dears.

It looks like the knuckle covers on the 650 were always an optional extra and so the longer bolts and spacers to adapt the bar end balancers were only sold as part of the complete knuckle cover kit which is rather pricey;

If you can measure up the one that's left on the other side then I can check if it's the same dimensions as the ones used on the original 1000 as those were standard on the GT trim and are therefore available as individual components;

All the other individual parts like rubbers, expanders, washers etc are the same part codes so I'd be amazed if it isn't the same spacer.
You can buy the entire assembly for the older 1000 but oddly, it's more expensive than buying the assembly for the 650 and then the longer bolt and spacer for the 1000 on top. Ah the madness of parts prices

Try AliExpress. I bought a complete kit for my old DL1000 so there's probably one for the 650, although you could more than likely adapt the DL1000 one.

If memory serves (probably not, at my age) the bolts for the handguard kit are actually shorter than the standard ones, even though there's the extra spacer to go through.

Rusty is right, here is the clutch side bar end and spacer on my ,22 650, the shorter one came with the handguards and is 3" long under the head.The other is the OE.

For the bolts I bought these

110mm was actually too long so cut them down, but the supplier does other lengths. They also posted promptly.
They are smarter than the original and easier to work with the the crosshead screws.

Ah I see, they bin off the larger rubber bung and the metal spacer tube on the 650, how odd.
Cheers for correcting my blatherings those who've actually owned one

I may have a spare. I lost one once, it just fell off as I was riding and as they were scratched I bought a new set. PM me your details.
