I've noticed these coming up on eBay every so often:

They are usually classified as RARE and HTF.

Here is a link to on online vendor with the lowest price I've found.

That's similar to what I used to wire in a US three socket plug from Radio Shack. Down at the bottom of the page.

Found my plug at a local BMW motorcycle dealer. They really aren't hard to find. I've heard you can also get them at shops that carry John Deere tractor supplies.

Jasan C. from Portland, OR sent me some photos of the adapter he built to convert the silver socket to the USA style. He fused the wiring which is good since the wiring from the silver socket is not fused as far as I can tell.

Hey Jasan, nice plug!

Why thank you. I'm quite fond of my plug.
