Well, the Black Prince had those. In fact, now you come to mention it,
mine was originally one of those enclosed thingies,

I had a feeling that you might be talking about the later D series.
Ah yes, the one in skirts :-))
As you say, "originally", but like you most real riders soon undressed
her.

later Shadowised with ally guards,

Yep, I mentioned those as well in that post I managed to misfire !
(and now lost to posterity)
There was also a fancy stainless set as well wasn't there?
Or were they other supplier add-ons ? Tut, how my brain doth fade !

My first were series B - HRD, cos they were cheap s/h ( nobody wanted
them ! can you imagine ha ! ) then later series C Vincent-HRDs

Triumph Cub? Potent little 200cc jobby? My mate's used to leave my Lambretta
150LI standing :-(( and I mean standing as if I hadn't even started the
engine :-((

I did like the Triumph 21, the 350?cc bike. Saw one the other day :-))

I had a Trophy for a while, but disliked the vibro-massage. I think I
got an Ariel Red Hunter after that.
