Opener rod snap

[Dogmanhazel]

I just completed a rear tire swap on my 1998 Goldwing and lost one of the snaps that release the side bag doors. The part number is 81317-mn5-003. Does anyone on here have one or a pair they would part with? Have been online and called dealer with no luck. Thank you.

If you can't find one online, this is a perfect application for having something custom 3D printed.

Thanks for the quick feedback. After I posted I looked some more and found one at Motosport.

Unfortunately Motosport can't get the part either. I ordered a couple of these clips just in case I needed a new one and the order was cancelled today.
It looks like a different method for attaching the opener cable will have to be devised. Like WingAdmin says, maybe a 3D printer job.

Here's what they had to say:

Have you been successful finding the part you need? I wasn’t sure which part you needed. Is it a rod or the white snap on the end of the cable? Ride safe, Joe

The original poster was looking for the white snap on the end of the cable.

I have one of the white cable end snaps. Send me your address and I’ll send it to you. Ride safe, Joe

I musnt be too difficult to manufacture by yourself if you have a sample and a piece of plastic using a drill, dremel tool and a file.
