I put a 71 rear mudguard on my 69, all it required was the drilling of 2 holes to mount it between the shock tops. The 69/70 guard is a C section where the 71 up is a D section, that is there is a flat area on the circumference. Also there are 2 styles 69/70 rear guards, the ones that mount between the shock tops like mine and the ones that mount off a bracket on the frame down below the battery tray and that guard has a flat spot on it at the front.

I wouldn't say there are a lot of parts that won't fit between the 69/70 and later ones, mostly the few parts around the battery tray and the side panels. The only part that is real hard to come up with is the narrow front guard and the shorter stays, but I think Andover has started making that now in stainless too. But then many people would rather have the possibility of putting larger tyres on the front so there are very few bikes around with the narrow front guards. I had my original front guard and stays re-chromed and found a 3.00-19 ribbed Avon Speedmaster II from Walridge to put on it.

The later (larger) front guards and stays will foul in the S type exhaust under hard braking, so be careful out there.

Tim,
Do you know if there is any difference between the 06.0583 listed for the 68 Commando (early fastback) and the 25542A listed for the S type, 06.0619A listed for the R type and 69 Fastback and 25542 listed for the 70 Roadster only? I have always been curious about this.

Did you get the shorter stays with your front mudguard?
