Hey, I have got a set to sell which are a bargain price. They are 37mm, full black set - black fenders and black stays, and they are 80% brand new. Reason being that someone helpfully drove into the back of me while stationary a few weeks back. The rear guard was slightly damaged - stays broke and rear guard itself although not a mark on it was slightly bent out of position. I separately got a replacement set of stays and then did manage to readjust it, and it was only very slightly off alignment, but I ended up getting a full replacement set from the driver's insurance. There was no point removing or refitting the front set, and the replacement rear stays stayed on the bike. All fittings included, most never used at all.
So to sum up - almost new set of guards, rear may need a bit of persuasion to align nicely (and genuinely when I put the old and new next to each other to line up backing strip they looked pretty much identical), and I'm not promising anything but I would not be surprised at all if you could fit it so you would never know. Only final caveat, I managed to stand on the (new) rear stays while tidying up after fitting the replacement over the weekend, and the plastic release tab at the end of one stay broke. So you'd need a new one of those!
So long story, but in light of all the above, I would have said you can have the set on that basis for £40 but in light of the broken tab I'll call it £30 collected from N8 if you're interested?
