I still have it but I'm not sure you will want it. It was damaged in the wreck, but it's still functional. See pictures below.
The part appears to have been impacted on the upper corner which was broken away. (See green arrows on the second picture.) This caused the two upper ears to break off where the red arrows are on the first picture. It's not apparent from the photos, but the part originally had four ears on it. The top two ears were mirror images of the two remaining ears. An unbroken part has a gap between the two tips. I suppose that facilitates installation of the rubber grommet between them.
What fails on the sensor is the damping oil leaking out. This allows the contacts to move around too freely, actuating the shut-down system when you hit a bump. On this part, the oil didn't leak out; I can hear it slosh around when I shake the sensor. The part functioned properly on the test ride.
In order to mount the piece, you're going to have to fabricate a metal plate copying the hole spacing from your original sensor and attach the plate to this sensor using tape, wire, wire ties or ??? Alternatively, you might saw up your old sensor, removing the ears along with a strip of plastic between them and attach that to this sensor.
Be aware that Honda did a recall on the sensor in 1995. If your sensor doesn't have a 1995 or later date code on it, they may replace it at no charge to you. See the 1997 (97.10.2) date code in the first picture? You will have to use a flashlight and mirror to see the one on your bike, as it is on the rear face of the sensor.
A new part costs $86 at Ron Ayers (item 5 on this page). You can have this one for $10 plus postage.
