Hm, within a few days, I will have finished the accessories pages, 
and then there will be an overview of different fenders, also mx 
style. I got one pic of a RD07 with an Acerbis mudguard. IMHO Acerbis 
is best in quality (and in price, unfortunately!).

The fender could kind of twist at higher speeds, but there is an 
aluminium enforcement available by Acerbis, which can be screwed to 
the fender. Normally, MXers use this to stabilize the fender when 
they race in muddy conditions, cause when a lot of mud sticks to the 
fender it could break away...

Hope this helps,

Marco
