Hi Mitchy. If the damaged thread in question is one of the 6mm or 8mm clamping bolts for the fork tubes you can have a Helicoil fitted.This insert will repair the thread allowing you to use the original 6mm or 8 mm thread size.Most good motorcyle workshops or engine reconditioners can carry out this repair for you. Cost is about $20.00

Cheers Brian
 
Depends on how handy you are, If you have access to a tap and die set you could drill out the hole and tap a new tread into the clamp. But I suppose if you dont know this you proboably should get a new clamp.

Good idea. Take it to the shop they will do it quiet quickly and it won't cost much
