thanks to everyone for your replies! in fact, i think everything has turned out ok...
when i first got the problem i tried to get the new clutch bits sent over as Frank suggested. The courier company were pretty useless though - a couple of days after the parts should have arrived here I called them and they told me the package was still in France! (lesson learned - use DHL next time, thanks for the link Bert). So yesterday i decided shipping the bike home might be my only option, spent 24 hours asking around and making calls... and then the clutch plates turned up this afternoon! funny the way that always happens...
So back on the road tomorrow, and it's good to know I can get the bike home from here - if the Senegal border proves too difficult without a carnet I'll be heading back here. so thanks again for all the information
cheers,
Nick
