Anyone willing to sell, or know where I can get a new front mudguard? Part No. 5LV-21511-00-P2.
If at first you don't succeed, pull your foreskin ower yer heid!
As above. New front mudguards are no longer available unless you can find someone with old stock on EBay, but unlikely. I just got mine repainted as it had a few scuffs and stone chips.

I thought that I would end up in that situation, what was the cost of the paint job on the mudguard? If you don’t mind me asking. ?

Well, therein lies a story.....I initially had a front mudguard, rear fairing/seat section and grab handles painted (Silver Tec) by a local bodyshop for £300 but the results were not up to the standard I wanted. I got him to repaint them a second time but the result was no better. I then decided to look for a specialist motorcycle painter in the hope/expectation that someone used to working with bikes was more likely to produce a better job rather than someone who paints cars all day. I contacted 3 or 4 specialist motorcycle painters but only 0ne actually replied to my request for a quote - Paint Supremacy in Lincs. By this time I had managed to source a new old stock rear fairing/seat section in the right colour so only needed the mudguard and grab handles painting at a cost of £250. This time the results were spot on and the finish was OEM or better. An expensive lesson but I would always go with an experienced motorcycle painter in future rather than a general bodyshop.
