speedo needle needed ???

Hi Guys,
I broke the needle on my speedo while replacing the odometer gear.
Anyone have a speedo or a tach that I can buy just for the needle ?
For a 85 1/2 and newer.
Does anyone know if an early model needle will work and match up ?

Thanks

Just to let you know, You are not the only one to do this;
The first time I replaced a speedo gear I bent the needle pretty bad
(sorry McFly)
I wish I had one to send to you,
But at least you know you are not the first to do this.

Thanks guys. I had a feeling it was gonna break. The needle was OK, I just broke the
black plastic shroud piese, I epoxied it back and it doesnt look too bad but bad enough
that it will drive me nuts.
