Good reproductions are available quite reasonably.

How often do you ride in the rain?
One of the CBX vendors might have a better price on repro and/or one of the CBX parts guys might have a better price on used but for peace of mind these are available.

Is that a Prolink or a twin-shock bike?

I have a few new ones left I think. Perfect reproduction. I’ll check next week if you’re interested.

Can always check with Louis Mintrone at usedcbxparts.com. I expect he has something in his stock. Meanwhile, stuff some epoxy into the crack.
