darktolight,
Your "mechanic" is either an absolute w@nker or ripping you off. Where did he get trained in a butcher's?
If he broke it he should fix it or pay the bill for some one decent to do it.

The pinch bolt stops the axle from moving in the fork leg.
The gap that you can see between the wheel spacer and the fork isNOT supposed to be there.
The fork legs are 5-6 mm further apart than what they should be.

I don't think any thing will fall of but the wheel will be free to move laterally. Hold the 'bars and try to move the wheel at say the front from side to side, I bet that the disc will just about touch the caliper and the wheel will move
Does he think that the good people at Triumph would just put a bolt there because they felt like it?

Find another dealer.
