That part is removeable, just find & contact a breakers via ebay and ask for a damaged set of forks, and then you can take the blue bit you need.

Yes I know, I've removed it!  :D Thought here would be a good place to start for one.

They are interchangeable with early R6 fork adjusters (1999-2004), which might give you more options, particularly finding some bent ones.
The anodised blue is however a deeper shade of blue than the FZS ones so you may wish to get a matching pair ;)

2004 onwards the preload adjusters were plain silver (not anodised). 8)
If it's broken, it's not fixed.
