[QUOTE="1660bob, post: 25314, member: 366"] Hi All, having failed miserably in my attempts to get the alloy rear mudguard to fit, I have concluded, also, that the radius of the replacement guard(s) is too small.(least the one i bought is) With the blade hard up against the RFM at the upper of the two forward mount points, and fitted to the hinge, I am getting a good 5/8-3/4" gap at the lower forward mounting lug. My old guard,(looks like an earlier replacement) also has a gap to be "spacered" at the bottom mount, but only 1/4" or so. I pressed on and fitted the rear flap only to find that the rear stand misses the flap by,again, a good 5/8-3/4"!!. The old guard flap had scrapes and scratches on it from the stand clobbering it when raised up to the catch!. Clearly,with large gaps front AND rear the overall rad of the replacements is far too small,(unless my Vincent has been stretched!!!) I bought the guard from the Spares Scheme some time ago and it has been stored ever since, but i read on this forum that the "latest" mudguards are a better fit. Has anyone fitted a rear guard lately-are the problems sorted? I don`t want to buy another replacement that is too short.... Bob. [/QUOTE]
