Yes, there are tach drive blanking plugs.

Believe it or not, you can find a suitable plug at most Lowe's hardware stores.

Oops. Lowe's is a national chain of home imrovement centers.

the blanking plug is basically just a bolt with fiber washer.

I think the blanking plug you need is: Triumph part 21-1871 "Tachometer drive plug" This is LEFT HAND thread. (and O ring 37-3761)

No doubt you will be familiar with Grin Triumph in Scotland
