Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

It's a spray on. Rattle can that need much shaking. But after applying it can be brushed with a soft brush and worked into all the crevasse. It sets after a day or so depending on the temp and last for ages. I have applied it to all my bikes. But they don't see much salted roads, which must help.

You can still buy these from Suzuki in Australia, they come from Vietnam so my guess would be that they are made by the same crowd. Rims from Suzuki are also coming from Vietnam.

I wonder whether Suzuki in Oz state that these mudguards are repro's or genuine Suzuki?
And I wonder whether they're charging the Β£150 that I paid in the UK? :roll: :shock:
