Aplitz' Shock Question...

Got a problem-

When Daniely (Danny) and I went to pick up aplitz's (Aaron) bike, he included a GSXR shock of some year.  Not sure of the year, but thought it might have been 93/94.  It's a remote reservoir style, with a banjo fitting connecting both the line to the shock body and the line to the reservoir body.  Somewhere in this shock's previous experience it lost the banjo bolt between the shock body and line.  Went to the local 'Zuke shop, and it doesn't come up on their fische separate from buying the whole friggin' 400 dollar and some change shock assembly.  Checked at the two online sources, ie-ronayers and bikebandit that I know of, and no dice.  Any ideas on where to pick that up at?

Oh yeah almost forgot, thanks Arron!!

You might be able to go to an auto parts store (or M/C place maybe) and find a bolt that fits if you can figure what size the threads are.  Banjo bolts are pretty common on brake systems for all types of cars.  It's probably a pipe thread so there's only a few that it could be

You know, I completely forgot about that fact (banjo bolts in brake systems) in my rush to get it recharged/get to class on time...I'll have to check out the stores tomorrow!  Thanks!!!

Tony-

At my local NAPA they have a box of banjos that I planned to sort through when getting the shock re-done.  If that failed, I figured that the shop overhauling the shock could locate the proper piece.  Best of luck getting it sorted out.  I'm really glad that all the registration worked out on your end, let me know if you guys need anything else.
