Good afternoon. This is my first interaction on this forum, and I want to thank all in advance for any help or advice.
I have recently acquired a 1982 cb900c via trade. It was garage kept and has taken just a little carburetor work, fluid and tire changes to get it ready. I am on the last step, which is changing front fork oil and dust seals. Upon disassembly, I noticed my backup ring below the circlip was corroded and I do not want to reuse it. After searching tirelessly, I found that this part has been discontinued and is not available for my particular model (checked Honda shop, partzilla, etc). I did find and order backup plates for a cb900f if same year on partzilla, however, and I’m wondering if these will fit. Fork assembly and size appears the same. Any help is appreciated
