I was looking for a front mudguard

Don't give up yet Florence. I have a mudguard but with no mounting bracket or stays. For some reason the cable holder is on the wrong side. It came off my 400/4 and is in really good condition (I only changed it because some kind soul got me a new one with the 2 stays for my B'day last year). PM me your email and I will take a pic tomorrow if your interested

I have been out in the depths of the workshop to retrieve it
florence:
Thank you Nurse Julie, that looks fab but it's too small. My bike is 500/4. (Oh dear, feel bad you had to go to the depths of the workshop)
Many thanks anyway. I will keep looking, one will turn up at some point. I was only outbid £26 against my high bid of £25. I'll have to adjust my mental compass and increase my budget. I am slowly getting round to the idea that things are no longer priced like they were in the 1980s :) I've started to realise that it isn't possible any more to buy 70's Honda basket cases for £150 >:( I've even started keeping my bike indoors which for me is very weird and inconvenient.
Matthew, modification sounds good. On my 350 I attached strips of stainless steel which I bolted to the good bits so that the stays no longer fell off. seems to have lasted quite well.
Nurse Julie:
No Problem at all Florence. Like you say, it would be a bit shorter than the 500/4 one but, I lined it up to a CB500/4 we have and it will fit on the back stays.
Julie
florence:
Julie, if I don't find one in the next few weeks I may come back to you.
Nurse Julie:
OK. Good luck.
