trial fitting of the rickman/hondastyle fairing but not sure of the fittings, has anyone got a similar set up to show how the brackets should fit?

Hi Graham, yes i am it has 341 stamped on it, i am not fussed about perfect originality on this bike as it was supposed to be a budget build, the mudguard that came with it did not fit at all.

Looks like a nice condition mudguard Mick, hard to find in that condition. The only thing is the wiring hole is in a different place and the tail light will be pointing to the sky a little but, better than nothing and if you find a good 550F one later, then a easy swap.
And you can sell the 341 to me for 99P  ;) ;) ;D ;D

Bugger, and I thought I had talked you out of that rear mudguard  ;) If I come across a good 550F one, maybe we could do a swap  ;D

just arrived from the USA a set of front pipes in decent condition, after a clean with wire wool and autosol look pretty good with my original silencer.

yes Graham they are hard to find, only cost £35 but another £100 plus for postage and customs charges. I took a chance but it paid off.
