Default Clutch lever snap ring fell off…
Does anyone know the correct size so I can go to the hardware store and get one?

Can you take the pin with you, or take the snap ring off the brake lever?

I found one at Ace's hardware for a time being not a perfect fit since local shop didn't have one in stock. For somehow you just can't buy the snap ring ( local shop said) had to buy both even it's a very old part number..But some how my little dog found it after few weeks.

Take the pin with you. It's not like you're going to be able to ride it safely anyway

My clutch lever was squeaking and I pulled the lever off to properly grease the pivot pin. I was telling myself, "you're going to lose the the snap ring you idiot". Thankfully it didn't go flying. I consider myself lucky.

Mine went flying when I was disassembling and lubing the clutch on my old Street Bob. I took the pin to lowes and found one that fit. I picked up 4-5 of them for a couple bucks.

Use a 7/16" E-Clip It fits just fine and way easier to get on and off
Get it at Lowes or Home Depot or really any hardware store.

I've got to get a new one myself. The last time I removed it it stretched and didn't spring back, so it's lost its tension.
