GJ,
I'd look at making everything 100% if you really like the bike. Don't worry about anything other than fixing any problems. The 490 with it's YAM "Ohlins" wanabe shock needs some help i'm sure as the chrome has gone bad.

As for the triple clamp see if a good aviation shop can fabricate you a new one for a decent price.
