I've bought them from Honda in years past, but expensive.  Have you tried a general ebay search, typing in the numbers from the bulb ?  This is the method i use to find light bulbs i need.

I don't mean the bulb, Steve, I mean the sockets of the wire loom

Mr Swan, not a good look. One should always pay attention when using a work email for personal use. Doesn't matter so much sending work emails for work purposes  ;D KP

Ah! Your right. It wasn't an email, merely a post on the BB and in your lunch hour. Well that's all OK then as that is allowed to be done on a work computer, especially if you are posting on this site. Keep up the good work men  :-*

Thanks Kerry, but I knew this. I am only looking for the sockets, not the wire loom. I want to make the loom myself and I am searching for only the socket parts

I have searching the entire internet without success. But there must be at least one manufacturer that produces these sockets

Steve might have been on to something though.  If you can identify the type of bulb you might be able to find the socket.

It is a BA9S bulb, Mark.
There are many sockets for the BA9S for sale, but I haven't found the right one for the CB750 instruments.
