Regarding running on "BP ultimate",,I restored & owned a TR 4 and always used ultimate fuel ,founding that it performed with a better MPG and ran a lot better,so being ,have since used it in my bikes, also which brings the tickover a lot lower & smoother on my 550 , being more expensive to buy in the first place , I think you reap it back with a better MPG......

Is it a UK bike or USA import? If its UK and anything like the 750 UK you will find that almost all UK ones are rusted out. I recently paid over 250 quid for a NOS UK one for the 750.
The 4-hole USA one is similar but the holes are in a different position so the UK rear lamp sits at an angle. Avoid the repro ones from Vietnam, they don't look very good to me and still pricey.
Try DK if you want a USA version you can sometimes hit lucky with them and make a silly offer..
Notice you have an S90 ... nice little bike that.
Cheers Ash. Thanks guys for your replies, sorry I haven't replied sooner, as just got in after helping my son with his zx10 track bike late night again 😴, the guard I have isn't too bad (just being picky) chrome very good ,as the are a couple of rivet indentations in the chrome work , so unless I can pick one up very cheap (OAP£££ ) I might ? Stick with it , or perhaps get them filled then rechromed @ a later date as I have only recently bought the bike ,want get a few miles in, Thanks again chaps , forum 👍
