Just a bit of a warning. A while ago I replaced the original rear guard with an after market item from a well known supplier, never thought anything about it until I fitted a wm 3 wheel with 400. x 18 tyre . I was out with my mate and he pointed out a ridge cut into the tyre by the lip on the guard. I got home slowly but ok and ordered a guard from AN and this was correctly sized and flared at the front for the oil tank banjo and pipe. The bike gets parked with the timing side against a wall and I'd never noticed the ridge being caused, felt pretty lucky that my buddy Dave saw the damage before anything bad happened. The guard wasn't from AN or RGM , but still a main British Bike Parts seller in the UK.
