I've had a search for this question, bit can't find the answer...how do I get replacement 'Split Pin' for the rear wheel nut? On my bike it had been on for a while and one 'leg' broke off upon re-assembly.
Is this a Honda only item?
I've looked on Rick Oliver's website (haven't phoned though) and couldn't see it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Just a standard Cotter Pin. Length doesn't matter as you can trim them down or wrap them around.
FWIW, I buy assorted packs of 500 S/Steel ones for about £4 which cover pretty much every application where one is required.
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Did you ever get the measurement for this Neo?
I'd like to get one as I'm always taking my back wheel off for cleaning.

It's just a split pin, get them from anywhere!
Halfords do a multi-pack of them if you're in a rush with about 10 different sizes.
