Great, Guys! Thanks. That new  part number, 92075-1315, brings up good info also. Seems there might still be a guy in Australia that makes reproductions. A little pricey though at $53 w/shipping.

I could be wrong, but I think the guy in Australia doesn't make them anymore (Nippon Nirishi or something like that).

That part is a perfect candidate for 3D-printing... If I had measurements, I could model it, and be done printing in a few minutes, using a material called TPE (Thermo Plastic Elastomer).
It is pretty cheap @ $15 per pound, so that part will cost no more than 50 cents !
I have successfully printed turn signal vibration isolation "rubbers", tail-light gaskets, seat mounting blocks, float-bowl gaskets, pet-cock seals, air-box snorkel etc. 
If you could post measurements here, I will draw it and post the 3D print-model for you, for free!
Just send the file to your nearest 3-D print shop.
