So the tiny ball bearing that serves as the clicker detent on the rebound adjustment screw got away from me and will never be found again. Of course the forks work fine with out, but of course it makes counting clicks hard.

This is for my '00 900S - but I'm (pretty) sure any of the adjustable forks for the S4, 1000, S2R 1000, ST etc share this bit.

so anyone have a line on or diameter of this itty bitty ball? And a source
Or got an adjust cap in a parts bin that they might be willing to deal on?

-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

In all the (Showa) forks I've disassembled, the clicker ball is an ordinary 1/8" ball bearing ball,  which you should be able to get at any shop selling ball bearings.   
Monster 900-2002 (sold, alive and well in the UK), 749R / 1100 HYM combo for track days, wifes / my Monster Dark 800-2003 (not entirely "Dark" anymore and a personal favourite) , 50% of 900SSie -2000 track bike for rainy days-now with tuned ST2 motor and Microtec ECU. Also parked due to having been T-boned on track.
