Anyone ever ordered fenders from Vietnam?

<< < (2/2)

AshimotoK0:
Bought a 750 K0 double-cut front one, when they first started selling them but got him to supply it 'raw' as he called it i.e un-chromed but polished
Got it chromed in the UK and turned out nice. The rolled edge on the inside is (was at the time ) hand done, so not quite a neat as the Honda one but externally looked fine.

He gave me special treatment, as he thought I was a woman  ;D ....  Ashley is also a girls name, particularly in the USA.

The Yamiya repro K0 double-cut  is around £1k once you have paid the duty and shipping.

Oddjob:
I seem to recall Philward getting one and having trouble with the way it looked when fitted, I remember he had to alter it to make it fit right.

Ok if you can't find an original, better than nothing.

Saying that, why the hell have they drilled it for a mudflap, spoils the look completely.

This one is better and will fit.

If I had to give any advice I'd say flood the inside of the reinforcing plates on the underside with Zinc182 paint or you'll find they become water traps and will rot the guard from the inside out.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
The DS front mudguards  for the 500  both state that they may need washers fitting to the stays to make them fit correctly.

Bryanj:
Ted, that because the early models did not have the rubberdoughnuts and top hat washers like the later ones

philward:
As Ken said, I bought one for my 500k2 (can't remember the exact seller) and I had to elongate the main mounting hole as otherwise the rear of the guard was to close to the tyre compared to standard. Otherwise the quality and finish was to a good standard.
