They are readily available at a BMW Moto dealer or order one from a BMW car dealer in your local area. Otherwise go on to Max BMW Fiche or MotoBins and order one. Not too expensive.

I've found replacements brittle and likely to split way before their time.
Any alternatives out there?

Do what I do - buy 2, keep one as a spare, and the first one will last forever, you will never need the spare until you lose it or toss it

You only need about 1 inch.
It's cheap - buy a 1 foot piece and use the rest for smacking locusts
