Any Kawasaki dealership will order them for you. They're not that expensive, just a few quid. They might even have them on the shelf for you.

It seems you generally have to purchase 10 of them, well who loses 10 in the first place, so if anybody does want more than one and goes ahead and buys some i will buy two from them, i need one and could do with a spare for next time.

The clips are pretty much a bike industry standard. Just about all manufacturers use them, but they do come in different sizes, so make sure you buy the right ones.

That ebay link seems like a good deal.

The ones in the link are too big. The ones the OP highlights are about 6mm hole with a collar of 12mm.

Right, thats why for simplicity's sake I'd just order them from Kawasaki and at least then you know you are getting the right size. They'll last a lifetime, not really sure how you could damage them.  :whistling:

I am pretty sure they are 6mm.
When mine broke, I just used the back piece and put a self-tapping screw in the middle.
They are a piece of  :shit: design as such clips go.

These seem to be the right size/shape

Hold your horses... You can find any tool shop - even in UK - and go look for Würth "tabs"... they are on-stock and cheap!

:cool:

Nope, can't find anything remotely useful for the job searching for "Wurth tabs" even when I add the Umlaut.
Looks like they are not used in the UK.

Well... you might search on "Clips" then...   :-)

See this:

...and then step into http://www.wurth.co.uk/ and find any dealer.... I have a sortiment of 75-100 pcs on stock - costs nothing....
