Shock protector/ mudguard
Posted: Fri Jul 21, 2017 3:02 pm
Does anybody know where I can get the shield/mudguard which protects the shock? I can see any on ebay. I might just be giving it the wrong name though.
cheers!

Although you need the metal straps & the nuts & bolts as well to fit it...No's. 8,9, +3x of 10,23 & 24...
Which by the time you have forked out for that lot + the VAT & postage...It'll be cheaper to buy a shocksock...
Having said that I might have a spare one in the MacCave...I did find one the other day as I want to use it...Maybe there is another one.
I take them off if there is a hugger as they hit the hugger when both are fitted...

Cut the shape out of an empty 4l oil container, drill 3 holes and pop rivet to the plastic bracket. That's what I did.
I removed it by drilling out the pop rivets to fit a shitty hugger which died. Hugger off, three more pop rivets and it's back in place. Works a treat.
ps. Used small SS washers behind the plastic bracket so the rivets pulled up on those instead of the plastic.
