No, I was pointing out to our American friend that they're not called snap rings here.

Anyone know where to get aftermarket replacements? Suzuki want £51 and I need a new one before I buy new boots!

Check out eBay, theres a few curvy ones on there, or there was when i last looked a few weeks ago. Seemed to be all they had.

For pointys, look out for hayabusa ones, theyre the same, ive got one on mine.

If you need a replacement circlip check what size you need and give me a shout. I bought a box of different sized ones.

I'm sure you can get little neoprene sleeves that go over the top, wouldn't that save your boot?

Very good - looks like an excellent place for riding!

Bought some new boots today so now need to get that gear lever replaced as soon as possible!
