I lost mine when changing bulbs today.  I have searched all over the bike and garage and can't find it.  Anyone know where to get one for cheap?

Cheap?  :laugh: its one of the cheapest parts on the bike to start with. If you dont want to pay for an OEM part.....go to a DIY/Electrical/Auto store, find a pack of assorted size grommets and make one fit.

Or make your own from an old bicycle inner tube and use a coin as a template and a standard hole punch.

Can anyone recommend a good online shop to order the oem replacement?

www.bikebandit.com is pretty good.  You will have to pay $7 shipping regardless, so you might want to order some other parts/gear.

I did this, there is 1 grommet that is 2 sided, like an "H" not 1 sided like a "T". makes for a grommet that wont fall when you take it off. Its way better than stock.
And I promise you, I am a serious grommet snob. I have tank grommets better than stock, and lot of other better than stock grommet like items.
Cool.
