That was a great buy and you're right Ron you were lucky to get that from Ash...my mate Andy's bike is way less complete and needs ££££ spending on it...
Ooops sorry Roy. Senior moment ha ha...

I was looking at the DS mudguard with a view to cutting off the front and back rolled edge, but now I'm not so sure that a rolled edge is such a bad thing..... I'm probably not as into "perfect" as I know you are Ash, although it's early days yet so a good genuine item may appear as it did for you..... I am also looking into just replacing the blade as the stays are good.... Will give it some more thought when i've started the project.... Thanks for the offer by the way.
Hi Roy,Are there no skilled metalworkers in your area - perhaps ex Aerospace, who could let a piece in the bad area behind the forks? Or perhaps it's too much like lace curtains. My 350 Norton guard looked worse than your Bomber one but a couple of carefully let in patches, a good dose of patient straightening, soon had it ready for a thin skim of modern body filler (Upol No 1). I appreciate it's nowhere near as easy if you are chroming but a painted original guard for me is better than mega money for an illusive new one or copy.Ian
