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 :shock:

Hmmm a fire damaged lower triple clamp off a zx9. I wonder where that likely came from........

...and did that dude give you three kisses there (xxx) :shock:

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.

Did you tell him $50 posted?

I *cannot* believe that a wrecker would actually be trying to sell that piece of shit !!! :shock:

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 !!!
