Not that I know off - cheap enough on ebay or refurbish your old one with TLC, red flexible plastic primer, rattle can of R157 and quality ProXL Ultra Gloss lacquer.
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

you could always try the varadero front mudguard, fittings look the same, but it travels up the fork legs, never seen it down but would be interested to see what it looks like, it could look crap tho.... :lol:
see what i mean....

wouldn't mind one of them to do some touring on tho....
i wonder if you got the brackets would the bellypan fit on the storm, maybe for someone doing a survival build or rat look storm.... :think:

I have a spare one.

It's black but does have a scratch on it which is a bit obvious as it's on the top front left hand side, other than that its all good no cracks.

£30 posted, if your interested PM me.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

tony....i've never left a disc lock on,mainly because i don't use them..if a thief wants my bike that bad it'll go whether it's got a disc lock,alarm or chain on it

i kid you not though,my mudguard will attracts stones no matter what road i'm on..my old helmet was the same with pigeons,i lost count how many near misses i had until i was hit up side of the head doing 60mph..not buying another blue helmet again

thanks for all the offers of another guard and the offers to repair the one i have too but i'm going to see what the vara mudguard looks like... you never know,maybe it'll look good

i'm just going to get any colour for now just to see if it fits,if it needs trimming and if it looks good...i was going to respray the bike this year and it was going GREEN...kwak 1400 met green but lloydie's beaten me to it so now i'm looking at either copper or having it plastic wrapped with one of my tattoo designs..there's a bloke i know in sherburn that does vans,cars and wagons so a bike should be fairly easy for him...

i can only try it and if it looks crap or doesn't fit i can always put it back on ebay
