Mine's rotted. It covers the front brake stoplight switch just under the lever. I looked through a parts list for the OEM but couldn't find it. I have a 2005 2T. Anybody recognize this and know the part number or where to find a replacement? (1" diameter)

Part number looks to be

Nope, that's not it, unless they radically changed it ? I know this because I also thought that was it, so I ordered it, received it and it's nothing like what was on my Stella.
C-4722375 is the long, thin part on the right.

Taking a second look at what you have, it looks more like a grommet than a switch cover. Do you still have the grommet where the brake line goes into the headset?
We have an '05 2T at the garage, I might be able to look this evening if I have time.
Natch, I think I know what it is. It's the rubber boot that goes into the master brake cylinder to keep dirt and grit out of the bore. I've never seen that as a separate part.
EDIT: Aha, it's this bit.

Not sure where to get it stateside, but that's roughly half what they charge for a complete master cylinder.
EDIT #2: Here's a slightly better price, still overseas:

Wow. Thanks! Yes, that looks like the part (upper right in second link pic).
Do you think it maybe could it be #21 - C-3721690 from the scooterloungeonline link?
I'll have to look at the assembly again. Knowing my scooter's history it's certainly possible the previous owner worked on it and put stuff back in the wrong place.

C-3721690 is the rubber block that goes on the hydraulic brake line and insulates it where it fits into the headset. It's not exactly round.
Thank you for answering my unasked question regarding ownership. I believe it's a mis-fit part. Check the space where your brake lever pushes into the master cylinder and see if there's a bellows in there.
