Thanks for the pic Robert, My email is feelinggreat01@bigpond.com Would you or someone have a picture of a genuine lower one, as this is the one that I think is just a piece of flat bar, but the long center section has a rib pressed into its center to give it more strength. I might even see if we could machine some up from a larger section of flat bar and just machine the groove into it......I will ask my machinist tomorrow. I have allowed enough of the brass ferrules to supply full sets for 6 singles and 2 twins, and/or a combination of both types, and we can go from there. I will keep everyone informed on here as to how things progress and if i do get extra parts made up I can advise as to what they are and if any extras can help others with their projects. At this point it would also be most helpful if someone could supply my with the width and depth dimensions of a genuine front guard, you would need to hold a straight edge across the bottom of the guard and measure the depth of the arc how it wraps around the sides of the front tire. My guess is it is going to be around 45 plus mm in height and the guard will be about 4 to 4.250" wide in section. Cheers............Greg.
