TOPIC:

Thanks for the help guys! I honestly don't want to get replacement needles if they don't look exactly like the originals. Just looking around similar (if not identical) needles seem to also have come on other kz bikes within the same year range and the ones on newer BMW bikes (and even some cars) seem to have needles that look identical as well. I'll have follow up on it later when I've nailed a decent source down . Thanks again!

Here's the German needles in situ.
