Rear mudguard for cb550K or F or cb500T required

[Laverdaroo]

Anyone got a rear mudguard for my 550?  K or F dont mind as it's going to be modified, just need the last 9" or so to be dent free and not rusty as. .....I know its a tall ask but ebay is just out of my price range at the minute..........Anyone?



Or one for a 500T failing that, doesnt mater what year???

I have 3 or 4 I forget but they are all pretty much perfect, not worth sacrificing a good one IMO. Sure my BIL said a 250 dream one fitted on his, which is odd as I seem to recall it had a black plastic rear guard but he's adamant, might mean the model before the 250N which IIRC was called Super Dream. Always had a soft spot for the 250N, great to work on.

You obviously didnt get the later modded one with bad cases, explain that one day

Got them all Bryan, still reckon they were vastly under rated. A fellow mechanic Dave, had the 400N and loved it. Funniest bloke I've ever worked with, had me in stiches every day, we were in a pub one day in the Isle of Man during TT and the we'd gone in because it advertised a comic was on, anyway the comic failed to turn up and the landlord comes on the little stage and asked if anyone could do some jokes to entertain us, of course Dave my mate was volunteered, we all knew he was funny but we didn't know just how funny he turned out to be. He stood up on that stage for 90 minutes just telling jokes, doing impersonations and playing the harmonica, he was gifted at all 3. At the start the pub was about 1/4 full, by the end if was PACKED, standing room only, drawn in by the howls of laughter coming out of the doors. He was so good the landlord asked him to come back the next day and do it again but he said he'd miss the racing and he was on holiday.

Just remembered this to show you what a nutter he was. We had half day on Wednesdays at QPM so we used to go to the pub me and Dave. This day we were in a strange pub with our wives, at 3pm the bell rings behind the bar for last orders, without saying a word and with no warning at all Dave jumps up and starts shadow boxing, dancing round the pub throwing punches in the air, his wife, who knew all his tricks goes up to the barman, who like all of us were just standing around dumbstruck by this strange bloke boxing thin air, she says with a perfectly straight face, "Please excuse my husband, he's an ex boxer and whenever he hears a bell he just jumps up and starts to box, ring the bell again and he'll stop" So the barman rings the bell again and Dave stops, looks around and just says "Where am I" I nearly fell off my chair laughing.

Believe it or not that's not the funniest story of Dave, it's just one I've remembered just now.

Enquire about the indicators and grab rail too. Looks like off an F2 to me.

[Oddjob]

Where are you looking Phil?

The rear guard is off a 550K3, so I'd imagine most of his other stuff will be too.

[Sesman]

That link. Swipe across the photos and you will see them in the background.

[Sesman]

Now you’ve said that the indicators are probably be correct for an F2, but I’m not sure the grab rail has a steep enough sweep at the back.

[Oddjob]

Indicators are K3 or USA type, thick stems, large reflectors. Grab rail isn't an F2 as that has lugs underneath for the mounts and that would mean it couldn't sit against the floor like it is.

[Sesman]

That’s correct, USA F2 thick stems. Not the puny, pointy common as muck English type.😁

[Sesman]

Like this shiney chap.

Already looked at it, don’t like the world, it’s twisted and dinged bud.
