    Right I need a part but I have no idea what it is called so I'm going to sound a right plank! Lol

    Here we go - on my rear shock (RR5) it has a gold cylinder thing well I have lost the cap that goes on the gold thingy bit :)
    Sorry gone a bit brain dead but maybe expansion chamber???

    Does anyone have one or at least know what it's called or where I can get one?

    Yes yes we can see that.................what he wants is the "Black Plastic Cover" that goes over the end to cover up the valve!

    Looks like you might have to do this the old fashioned way......go into a bike shop, grab hold of someone over the age of @ 35, point it out to him.

    And then when they ring you up to moan that you returned their bike with a ?????? missing, at least you'll know what it's called.

    Right spoke to Honda, you can only buy this plastic cap if you buy a whole new shock you can't buy it on its own .
    Any ideas what I could use instead?
    Or anyone got a spare one lying around they don't need?

    Ask Si if he's got the lid off a can of Loreal Elnet. I think they're gold.
