Wow, I didn't know that Ash :o. Well done. Is the bit that suffers the wear the ball or the socket (sounds like a hip joint!)?

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
If it helps I'm pretty sure I have my original one that I replaced with a less than perfect aftermarket one. Yours for the cost of postage if it helps as a practice part. PM me if this is of any use.(Yes it is sloppy).

Athame57:
I plain bought one of these very pretty aftermarket items for my CB400F2. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/292633661096
However at least in my case I found the tie rod, that bar between the joint and lever was too long and I needed to use the one from my original, so don't throw away!  ;D

Fleabie:
Thanks all for you replies!

I asked Ken (Oddjob) (via text) and he's suggested replacing the rose joints completely, so that's what I am going to do. Drill the stud/ball out of the levers and fit new joints.

I've tried picking those dam circlips and although they move, they are very good at holding the joint together fortunately/unfortunately !
