I'd be checking the rear axle...it has a keeper like that...hard to tell from the photo if its the right size, but definitely make sure the clip is still on the rear axle..the clip is on the right side of the axle.

I just checked, they are both there. The ones holding these pins are more closed - almost a couple horseshoe.

Good guess.

I'll check this. But it seems like this is too small for a rear axle - it's only a 1/2" wide.

What's a p-pad? I thought the seat bolt screwed into a nut which was welded on the inside of the rear fender?

The clip measures 1/2" from the outside. Hard to tell from the tape measure next to it.

Not welded clipped. But I don't think that's the one you have.

I guarantee you it is a "E" Clip, and they are used to hold in the pivot bolt for the clutch handle or brake handle on the handlbar. You have to stand on your head to check to see if one of yours' is missing.

I lost one of these once many moons ago, and had to go to the local hardware store to buy a few.

Good luck hunting!
