Name that part contest

[acs5166]

I am in the middle of fixing my speedometer by soldering the jumpers on "JB" and "JC". My bike (2000 K1200LT) is totally apart in my garage looking sort of like I ran over a nuclear bomb. As I was putting my instrument cluster back together a part fell from somewhere up front and I found it by my front wheel. I have NO idea where it came from or what it is. For you experts out there, what is this part? It's gray plastic about 1/2' long.

I've attached a photo.

That appears to be the insert that goes in one of the rubber buttons that is used for adjusting the time on the clock. Obviously, both buttons have one so be on the lookout for another or maybe it's still in there.

Good Luck!

Kinda hard for me to tell from the pic, butt it *might* be one of the probe buttons used in setting the clock (unless you taped them over to keep 'em from falling out). Those are on the right side of the bike, butt could roll some distance and be on the left side of the wheel.

Sorry if that's not the correct i.d.

You guys are totally amazing!! I never would have figured that out. And indeed the other one was out also but caught by the rag I had underneath.

THANKS!!!!!

My undying gratitude and a chance to be peppered with even more questions as I try to get this beast back together. Who can resist that?
