Hi everyone. After rebuilding my forks, I was reinstalling them and had a little accident. My shitty cheap torque wrench decided not to work properly, and for some stupid reason I kept winding. The result is pictured here.

Does anybody have, or know somebody who may have a top clamp or whole set of clamps/tree for a 1999 SV650? I have the whole next week off work, so I can pickup from just about anywhere, any time. Willing to pay a reasonable price for the part, and there is a 6 pack 'finders fee' in it for anybody who can help me track it down and acquire it before AMCC Round 4. My cell is O21 212 6O42, or PM me here. Thanks everyone.

Try this chap, id have asked but dont want him to thing there is more of a market than there is! Should be a dime a dozen with the amount of SVs that upgrade the front end

If you can't find one in NZ these guys might be worth a shot: http://www.vicwreck.com.au/

Bloody hell, that's impressive.

Being a Suzuki it probably shares the part with something else. PM Frosty and see if he still has his old front end. I think he kept his bike so might still have it.

Zip tie and some "No more Gaps" should get you thru scrutineering.

Yeah but have you tossed that torque wrench in the bin and got another one?

Seriously, that goes way beyond blaming a torque wrench.
