Broken triple clamp-S.O.S.

HELP!!! I just broke the top triple clamp on my '04 KDX220, just by snugging it up prior to torquing it up. I don't want the same weak/flimsy stock clamp, any ideas would be a huge help. I'm thinking Protaper or some other aftermarket part, but just can't find anything. Thanks in advance---

I have never seen an aftermarket KDX upper triple, nor have I seen a broken stocker. The lowers fail when people try to press the stem out the wrong way.
If you end up not finding an aftermarket one, I probably have a stock one for pretty cheap if you want it. It happens to be off an '04 as well.

Thanks Mike, I found a used one at FRP and Jeff sent it right out- I kind of panicked cause I have a race next weekend and couldn't find an after market clamp- next time, nothing but a torque wrench- thanks again

I purchased an upper triple clamp and steering damper from Scott's as a set. It was probably too expensive, but it looks really good. I have a 2005 KDX 200, so I'm not sure if it is the same as the 220. If anyone is looking for a stock upper, I have one plus the stock bars and mounts. I upgraded them as well.
