    The name does ring a bell Michel. I think the best place to ask that question would be on the vindurouk forum here in the UK.

    I have finally taken delivery of a superb replica of the original Falk enduro mudguard. I have been searching for over 10 years. I have a small collection of very old and bent genuine ones, but no where near good enough to put on the bike. I also have a new fibreglass replica from Claude. This is nice, but a bit heavy and does not bend (no good for me as I am known to throw the bike at the scenery) Then I discovered this in the U.S. I am told they are injection moulded, and the finish is absolutely incredible. The fit is spot on, in fact better than the motocross replica I had before.

    So what was the place that you bought the fender ? I found a place in Co. but He only sells the pair front and rear and he would not separate a pair so I said forget it.

    The fender fits the contour of the seat nicely. Looks like you have the quality number plates as well. Very nice.

    They are one and the same. I figured that I might as well have a spare front guard, so I had no issue ordering both.

    Hi assume you mean the actual gear which is riding on the end of the main clutch shaft, held out by a spring? Very common that these two are worn, but they can be sent to Dave pratt for repair, did that myself a couple of years ago with success! I also make sure that I roll forward slightly while engaging the engagement gear, just as a precaution, since it is a venerable part!

    Just to bring this thread up to date (ish !). I have now had to go through all the photo's and replace them :banghead: Photobucket have ruined countless threads on various forums by their stupid actions ! I hope I have got them all in the right place.

    There is also a video of the last lap of the 2 day time card enduro in the north of England. The Hot Trod Enduro is a must do ....
