I was looking for a front mudguard

<< < (2/4) > >>

mickwinf:
that has been for sale for ages, they are just trying it on, rip off merchants!

florence:
it saddens me.  one of the things I used really to like about these bikes was that they were always very practical classics; it was easy to find parts and they were cheap to buy run and repair.

I'm currently bidding on a damaged 550 mudguard on ebay.  Even though it's dented it's loads better than the one I have and, hopefully, the purists will be put off.

Why the F--k do people say marks that will easily polish out, chrome is not like alley where you can get it back to good metal, once chrome is scratched, damaged or marked that is it, you can make it look slightly better but not polish it out

florence:
Outbid, right, I give up, I'm going to either get an aluminium mudguard or patch this one up with filler and stainless steel strips like I did with my 350.

On my 550 I just cut out the worst 4 inches and shaped then gas welded in a repair section, once dressed in very carefully with a fine flap disk it was not very noticeable unless you were looking for it, appart from the fact the thing had to be painted rather than chrome. On the rear guard I have been lucky enough to scrounge up fiberglass replica muddies that are the right shape, but either black or coulor matched to the tank. Makes rot a thing of the past in that area.
