If you want the real thing, it won't be cheap--believe it or not, the
SG 21 has a current list price of $99.99 (!). Part of that is because
they bundle it with an alternate 17 mm clip for Tuchel connectors,
which hardly anyone uses any more even in Germany, but most of it is
just the usual absurdity.

If you're looking for something that will work as well or better for a
lot less money, you might consider the Audio-Technica AT 8410 shock
mount. Or if you want to go to bottom dollar, get a Chinese clone of
the old BV 6 "butterfly clip"--any musical instrument store will have
those for $10 or so.

The diameter of the KM 84 is 21 mm, which unfortunately is 1 mm too
wide for the Shure A53M shock mount. You can kind of force the mike
into it, but if you do that, you're likely to lose your nice purple
Neumann logo sooner or later.

They will, however, do fine in the Electro-Voice 313 or 313A shock mount
(one's black, one's grey).

The Shure A57D (as included with the SM81) clip fits the KM84 nicely.

Audix makes a fine clip as long as you don't need the elastic suspension

I can source them for 10$

Audio-Technica AT 8410 will work fine, and for less than the original
clip.

Your local music store will sell you a generic plastic clip for two or three
bucks that will fit a KM84.

I'd suggest instead using the Shure rubber doughnut mounts. They are around
twenty bucks and are excellent shock mounts, and very low profile.
