Do you gents know if this is a part you can pick up at a Napa/ auto store or is it a Kawasaki specific part. How many times can you take it off before the back side if the clips loose their ability to snap in place?
Thanks,

They were such a pita I left them off.

I left them off during the first front tire change at 3400 miles, with no problems.

I think you can re- use them about forever if you are careful with the removal and reinsertion.
That said, I cut mine off back in the summer of '07 and never replaced them. You do not need them as the brake lines are more than rigid enough (easy boys!) to hold their shape and not rub against anything anyway. Some people have developed a very good ability to unsnap them from the inside but I found it easiest to snap them off from the outside using diagonal cutters....

Push, pinch, and roll. Easiest clips ever.

I left mine off about 5 years ago and I'm still alive.
