I had a top retainer half shear on my original CL77 shock. Anyone got a spare?

Thanks,
Rob

The bike came with two sixes.
What year or size do you need?. ........lm

I'm not sure I'm going to go with OEM retainers. I pulled the shock apart today and found the other retainer was cracked about half way around. I might machine new ones from stainless. These appear to be cast aluminum or Zamac.

I'll post some pics of the damage in a bit.

Problem solved. Machined new retainers for each shock. See the main forum section under suspension.
