Some good and hilarious suggestions, but none correct yet. If it helps it's 48mm diameter.

Bingo !!

It has two small neodymium magnets embedded in the centre to (hopefully) hold it in place.

I’m sure those magnets will hold just fine.

You don’t intend to actually start the engine though right ??

I like that Cliffa, nice job. Interested to see if it stays on with the vibes .. Has the weather in Switzerland been kind enough for you to try it out?

Maybe custom ones can be made with the rider's initials or a Norton 'N' engraved

Thanks Gazz, no I have the primary apart at the moment so have been riding the "Himmy". Not sure I'll be out on it again this year TBH, as the temperature is dropping now.
