Lovely. A black patch on the top of the mudguard to cut down glare would be good. Or a low level mudguard, which would be my choice.

I like that,it's a pity Yamaha don't make something in a similar style today.The only thing I'd change would be to fit a closer fitting front mudguard

Agree entirely. Does anyone else think it needs to be a little lower at the front and/or raised up a bit at the back? Otherwise, top job.

Like it but sod kick-starting one of them nowadays, already had one hip replaced 9 years ago

They're utter bastards to start hot, especially if it's stuck in mud.

Yes please!

Has to be black/silver with gold rims........it's the law!
That front mudguard is just so wrong, it barely extends past the front axle and covers the headers.
As for a low mudguard, you'd have to ditch those tyres straight away!
Just because it's a yammie doesn't mean you have to put speed blocks on it!

That's awesome! Almost looks more like a late seventies YZ80 than an XT500!!
