Afternoon! New member here, I've done the polite thing and introduced myself over on the noob forum so I thought it was now reasonably acceptable to post and ask for some advice. I'm in the process of bobbing out the 125 and I've hit a bit of a snag. I've read on other topics the issues people have had mounting a rear mudguard to give it that close fitting look. It seems the only real way to go about it is to remove the rear bracket etc... and mount the new mudguard to the swing arm. Not a problem I'm happy with that. The only thing I'm struggling with is sourcing a universal mudguard that I can cut down. I'd originally had a look at this: http://www.feked.com/mudguard-6-rear-alloy-19-wheel.html But according to that, Length across from front to rear = 31+1/2 inches, which in a nutshell seems huge as the overall diammeter I'd probably need is about 26.5" ish. Internet searches have proved fairly fruitless other than several universal ones that are for wheels of approx. 18", so I thought I'd admit defeat and ask for some help! Any advice you can give would be massively appreciated. And in the mean time here's a couple of pics with how far I've got over the past few days using the original mudguard... So that's roughly where I am. Excuse the masking tape it's the safest way of trialing ideas without risking precious plastic or tyres! The main problem is that the bracket below is a completely different angle to the wheel and so I was never really going to be able to get that line as I wanted it. But in for a penny and all that!

Afternoon ladies and gents, Just wanted to do the noob bit and say hello on here! I currently ride a 125 Draggy which you can see in my avatar (hopefully). Similarly to a few members on here I'm looking into giving it a bit of a bobber-esque makeover which is coming along slowly but surely. Riding on a CBT at the moment, but I'm working my way through my DAS training. Although in all honesty I'm very happy with the little 125, so I probably won't be rushing out to buy a 1200 straight away. If anyone ever fancies a ride out, rain or shine, I'm based around Bury/Bolton. Always happy to offer any help, knowledge and advice if I can and hopefully learn a lot from the other members too.
