Hi,

I'm doing the unenviable thing of scouring E Bay for bikes and I've spotted a TXT 250 with a broekn rear mudguard. In the advert the guy describes that the bracket that holds the mudguard in place has broken as well. I spoke to him last night and it seems that the bracket is a sheet steel fabrication and is not a part of the main frame?

Does this make sense to anyone as I haven't really ahd the opportunity to look under the mudguard on a gas gas to see whats there. THe guy seems genuine and he seems willing to accept what I think is a reasonable price, as long as I'm not getting into repairing frames etc.

Any advice would be gratefully received,

Dave

I can't remember the TXT guard mount very well but seem to remember that it's part of the air box/seat unit. If broken the whole unit needed replacing unless you fabricated something to screw or rivet on to take the nose of the rear guard. If however it's just the bracket on the guard itself I do remember them as just being a steel bracket on the guard. Replacing the guard would renew that bit.

Someone with a TXT or a better memory than me. please help.

Ok...so bought bike and I have some bits of the old mud guard. There is a bit of steel that's been out in place and riveted to the plastics, but this has been torn. Does anyone know whether this part of the rear mudguard or is it the seat unit

To anticipate the answers... Can anyone recommend then best place to buy plastics for the 2000 txt...

Thanks all

Dave
