Clem, the triple clamp - is it a cast item or machined? If it is a
machined item some one with a torch and press should be able to
straighten it.

Naah; it's cast Johnno.

I made a mug of myself today.
Peter Gray at Pipemasters told me he might be able to straighten the
handlebar but he'd have to anneal it. First you cover the area in
candle-soot and then hit it with the oxy-torch just until you've burnt off
the soot.....
When I showed up with my handlebar and a candle I learned, much to their
mirth, that candle-soot is what's produced from the oxy-torch when it's just
burning acetylene!
If it breaks then there's one in Adelaide for $85 plus freight......

No-one seems to have a triple-clamp though.....

Don't let it be said that squeaky wheels don't get the grease... I was
at Metropolitan Spares in Silverwater the other week, and I made it a
point of checking the contents of their Hyo-section. Half a dozen
picked-over bikes lined up most of them with intact looking forks.

Had you tried phoning them before you ordered a megabuck brand-new item?

If I'd known, I woulda.

Did you price having a new tube turned ?
it used to be affordable

Doubt it, already been told it's all on back order tho it was 'in stock'
when I placed it. Shop wont open until Monday anyway.

Recall my 'anyone know a decent wrecker' post ? I'd kinda hoped for
places being mentioned in there..

That's kinda like asking a computer n00b if they got a new HD added to
their case, and was it SATA IDE or PATA ?

In other words WTF ?
