Hi all
I have some STi levers v similar to the pic below (mine's 8 speed). I had a bit off an 'off' last week, and the little plastic window thingy broke off and disappeared to gawd knows where. Now, the little red indicator thingy behind the window is frankly quite pointless, and I seldom look at them. But I'm a bit worried about water/dirt etc getting in. Can you get a replacement, or should I just tape over it?

They are called Name Plates but a quick google says they have no 8 speed plates left - someone may have a spare from a broken shifter though.

I would cut the red bit away as much as I could and then fill it with some sealant if you can't get one.
