Ok I screwed up and need your guys help and opinion.

This weekend I was installing a lowering kit on my 03 Fatboy. Got the shocks out, pressed them apart, installed the new studs, press them back together, and I lost one of the retaining clips. I searched high and low and I cannot find it. It is the round c clip that holds the spring inside the body of the shock. Looks like a piston ring.

I went to the dealer and they do not sell that part individually. I asked if they could give me an old shock and they refused, stating liability.

So do I beg you guys for an old shock or if anyone has the retaining clip.

Does anybody know where I could buy one? I hate to buy a new shock forthat one part I lost.

Would someone sell me one or that part alone?

Would a piston ring work in a pinch?

It is beautiful outside, my paypal account is ready, and I am itching to ride! What would you do?

 

If you want two I have some take offs from my 03 FXST I can check shipping? They have 9k on them

 

Sure let me know. I am only going to disassemble one of them for the retaining ring. I can send some money via paypal.
Thanks
Brett

 

Check with a local indy shop.They may be willing to sell or give you an old shock.
