[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 5835, member: 4034"] [b]Rear mudguards[/b] That's an odd complaint. I always thought Vincent stainless guards looked to have too large a curvature. Not so much the back (for which Trevor's advice - as always - is worth taking) because the guard doesn't hug the wheel anyway, but certainly on the front. Back in my yoof, when everyone fitted ally guards as a matter of course, it was an accepted fact that the only way to get a decent "look" on a 19" wheel was to buy an 18" guard. A paradox is that back in the bad old days (last year) when I still went "to work" every day, if it was pissing rain I'd take one of the old bikes (1938, 1951, or 1956) because the bike and I would stay much cleaner and drier. The modern bike, a 55,000 mile 1993 Ducati Monster, having the mudguard equivalent of a thong, was much dirtier and wetter. I make no further comment. [/QUOTE]
