Stainless steel RGS rear mudguards
« on: 02.03. 2012 10:55 »
Over a period of time I have been fitting stainless steel parts to my RGS. I have just sourced and ordered a stainless front mudguard, but I have so far been unable to find a stainless rear mudguard. is anyone aware of a supplier of of these? There are several Gold Star stainless rear mudguards advertised for sale, but I really do not want to fit a Gold star mudguard if I can possibly avoid it. There are chrome RGS rear mudguards available but I am worried about the quality of the chrome plating. Has anyone fitted the chrome RGS rear guards? If you have who supplies the best quality guards? In either case I would prefer that the guards are pre drilled because marking out and drilling is fraught with all kinds of problems.

Has anyone fitted the chrome RGS rear guards?

front and rear, been working on my Flash so other bike has been in the garage, had a look at it yesterday rust peppering through on both guards and on Goldie type silencers, absolute rubbish so I'm looking for polished stainless replacements.
Would have to do a bit of digging to find out where I got the stuff but irrelevant really as there's just so much trash out there.

yes thanks Bob , think that's where I'll go when I start to rebuild the red bike, was never happy with the look of it, looks heavy and as you my have read Brother Bob has his long wished for Goldie, that's the look I'm after when I get to it, lean and mean, also S/Steel or chrome look better against black I reckon

Try Chris Williams at Autocycle Engineering. I think his guards are triple plated and he will not sell rubbish. Same applies with George Prew.
