We had a customer drop off a set of forks from a 2018 RMZ450 that broke some internal parts. They had disassembled the damage fork and brought the parts in a bag. Upon replacing the damaged parts we went to reassemble and discovered this one washer missing. These pictures are from another set we are doing. The circled washer is what's missing, does anyone have an idea where we can find this washer, Showa told our customer to try fastenal. We would like to find an OEM replacement without replacing the entire assembly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I’d try PC, Racetech, or Factory Connections. They should all be able to steer you in the right direction and have ways to get OEM stuff that “we” cant

No one has any idea where to get just this one part. All the big shops are saying run it without it and it will be fine, just adjust the preload for it not being in. I am not on board with it, but it is what the customer wants to do. Thanks for the replies!

Tired there too! Thanks, we hope it works too! 3 different "big time" shops have said run it no problem. I am not thrilled about it at all... I have spent many hours looking for this one part to no avail.

Did you have the stock stacks for that fork?

Hope you found that washer, could have machined one but they have a telfon type coating on one side
