Yep...Pep Boys should have 'em.  Just a note; the rubber these expansion plugs are made is not the most fuel safe.  I've been running the same one for about 3 years with no problems but I had to bend the oem pump retaining bracket to hold the rubber plug in. (I had it pop out twice in the past)  It does the job though!  ;)

For a more proper fit you could also try one of these....they're just more than I wanted to spend on a plug.

Get one from VT cycles, its faster than scooter assassins. You definitely want to make sure it seals, it can be devastating.
