Replacing trip reset knob

My bike came supplied without a trip meter reset knob......

This is a bit inconvenient on a bike with a smallish tank & no fuel gauge.
After a while pondering I came up with this;

A short length of thick wall vacuum tube pushed tightly onto the brass reset shaft inside the speedo, finish off with a plastic tyre valve cap to close the end of the tube

Works a treat & looks decent too

Reserve doesn't get you far, though. It's horrible riding along a motorway (autobahn is worst as it's illegal to run out of fuel there) and wondering if you'll make it to the next fuel stop.

how far away are the fuel stops :O

reserve should do at least 30 miles if you ride steady (48km)
