Question on part on my gsx1100g

[Juggalo]

I have a ? about a part on my bike. It is located just behind the transmission case it is a little black oval looking piece with a wire attached to it. The wire runs all the way to the fuse box. If you have one look on the shifter side look behind the shifter and you will see it. It has two pillips screws holding it in. I took mine down to fix a leak it had and when i removed the screws i realized it had broke on the mounts. Any help on this will greatly app.

Yeah, the description of the part sounds like the one that andruboz pointed out in the fiche.  That's the neutral-sensor and there is a spring-loaded pin that rides behind it in a hole in the shift-drum.  As long as you can secure it to the case such that the o-ring will seal, I wouldn't worry about broken-off ears where the fasteners go through the plastic housing.  

If you need a new one, I'm pretty sure that I have a used (but functional) one in the garage somewhere.
