Morning all. My 1980 Jota has the little fibreglass orange front mudguard. I would like to replace it with a longer chrome guard. I want to ride the bike more in all weathers but the small mudguard has always been a pain because if it rains, everything - even under the tank gets plastered in mud and crap which is a pain in the arse to clean off. No idea why I have put up with it for so long (30 years), but I think it's time to try an alternative. My forks are Marzocchi if that makes any difference.

Can anyone help ?
 
For Marzocchi forks, you need the kind on the right, Tom.

As Gert has pointed out, not easy to find. The brackets are prone to rusting out.
I'm not sure if the Ceriani type (left) would fit.
I do have a spare, but it's not for sale.
 
As the mounting points on both forks are identical, both mudguard types will fit.

Later type was stainless or painted mild steel, depending on model. Good chance some had chrome, like the 500s.
