The shop shows 550 ones as well.

TBH Ted the chrome looks ok but the standard of workmanship leaves something to be desired. Spot welds on all the braces, whereas the Honda OE guard is seam welded with small gaps. I'd imagine they'd rust very quickly as the braces are just water traps.

It was me Ted, I bought the 4 hole type. General good quality, chrome and shape but without modification, it sat too low at the rear end (looked tipped down) - from memory, I had to enlarge the main mounting holes to allow the rear to sit higher. Do'able mod that didn't abuse the guard too much.

Food for thought although I do not have the number plate holder as mine is a US mudguard.

I asked them for dimensions a couple of seeks ago and still no answer, doesnt fill me with much vigour if I'm honest. I dont care how long it is just how wide.
