Is that an original mudguard? Why no stays?
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Set/sit. Bought/brought FFS. Bloody Americans.

oddjob I have another mudguard but it has a non standard blade grafted on to the original brace, it looks the same at first glance but will measure. Lester it has the two stays but even they don't seem to fit properly, and I need some of those plastic spacers that fit between the stays and mudguard.

I wondered that, anyone with a 750 able to confirm? If it is a 750 item I will probably sell it rather than bodge it to make it fit.

Had a measure and its about 125 mm from bottom edge of bracket to edge of blade, so similar to green1's . not sure what to do now, if someone with a 500 could give me the same measurement to compare that would help.

I'll try and break into the barn tonight Mick if you don't get a response from anyone else in the meantime.
