Can i be rude and ask how much and where from?

I bought a brand new replacement 400 one for 80odd quid.  Fits perfectly,  so I'm well happy with it.

Paid £120 plus £50 postage - ordered on 9th Oct and arrived today and didn't pay import duty! I chose it as it appeared to match pictures of standard guard closest and feedback for this particular product was good

Thanks Phil, thats not too bad a price for it if its decent quality and fit, at least its the 4 hole rear light bracket

I'll be dummy fitting over the next week and so will let you know how it fits Bryan

Here's the guard fitted (not with right bolts!) Bryan - fitted straight on without problem (had to tap one of the M6 threads to get bolt to pick up) - everything lined up ok

Just an update on this thread - now that the bike is rolling I've bolted the guard up tight and the guard is 'twisted' . When I've checked the upper m6 bolt hole to m8 side bolt hole dimensions and they are 10mm out (comparing left to right hand sides) - so will have to take the welded on captive m8 nuts off the inside of the guard, and elongate the holes to equalise them, then fit loose nuts - thats tpmorrows job
