No sure who you talk to, but current pricing is around $120.00

I bougt mine online, following this link. Use the drop down on the home page to select 'airhead' then you can add the parts you want to a shopping cart, and just check out. They sent mine in a week, super easy.

Hope that helps, Andrew

The thin steel top triple clamp is not as rigid as one might like, and San Jose BMW have this period correct upgrade, but it does require cutting the top of the headlanp 'ears' to slip over the top of the fork legs. I got a set from a breakers to adapt so as not to damage the originals.

Precision machined billet alloy triple clamp improves steering response and accuracy. Significantly increases rigidity of fork assembly.
