Anyone in the EU (not UK) who has a spare front and rear mudguard for a CB550F?

That’s the one I bought…fits mighty fine and was identical in every way to the original I scrapped.

Don't know why but I forgot about the cable retainer on the lower brace, saying that I stopped using the chrome type mudguard back in the 80s. Far too prone to rust and damage.

I can just spot the mounting holes before the fender goes under the seat, but I can't see of you are actually using those mounting holes, or if they are empty?

Sorry for the delay Alex, haven't been on the forum. From memory, I used the top 2 mounting holes and the rear side mounting holes - and only had to modify slightly, but as the guard is (thinish) SS, wasn't to far from original standard mounting hole postions (and no rusting issues. But worth a try at such a cheap price.

Like Sesman, I fitted the DS one without issues

This is the DS aftermarket part you all fitted, right?
