Front mudguards

Post by BillingCBR » Fri Apr 16, 2010 2:59 am

Hi, a friend of mine has an NC29 front mudguard in his shed which he's said I can have for free. My question is will the front mudguard fit my NC23? If so do I need to modify either the mudguard or the forks? looking at pics on ebay they look the same, but I just want to be sure :)

did you know that having no front mudguard on a motorcycle is illegal?

I was aware of that, but was unsure of how true it was :) cheers for the heads up though. I didn't get it in the end as it was yellow, he then sold it lol

Possibly a daft question to ask...but why?

VFR NC30 front guards are identical also.
