I put in a find-a-part request for a lower triple clamp for the 9 a week or so ago with great success, but I just needed to share on of the responses with you all.
names removed to protect the guilty wrote: hi,
have on eoff(sic) a zx9 98 model, $55 has had some firedamage as per pics attached regards xxx
FWIW the other prices ranged from $65 (Shoalhaven wreckers in Nowra who were easy to deal with and sent a good part quickly) to over $250

It's from Victoria, so it may not be the one you're thinking of (although it may be).

No, I deleted his name and number to protect the guilty.

I *cannot* believe that a wrecker would actually be trying to sell that piece of shit !!!
You should bust his name out Dave, so we can bombard him with phone calls about selling dodgy parts that could cause serious injury or death, if they were actually used !! That bottom clamp would be so fucked with the fire damage, lost all structural integrity, and the wrecker should hang his fuckin' head in shame !!!

A perfect excuse to start the bling collection on the bike, a quick polish or chroming and it's all good

Yeah Dave,
He might be a good kisser and the tripple clamp in question is only say $2 of the total...

If it's not an aluminium clamp then it could be OK, but I'd err on the side of caution.
