There are plenty on Ebay, at least in UK. Early Mille's fit, but you'll need to check it. :smt017

Thanks for your reply.
I thought that the early mille and falco had the same mudguard. When you say that i should check it out, is that because your not 100% sure.

They are not exactly the same, the mounting points are the same but the falco guard extends further down the fork leg past the lower mount. I think the profile above the tyre is different too as the mille one doesn't have the slight point above the tyre.
If you don't like it, don't look!

Does this means that i can buy one from a mille and mount it on my Falco, but it will look a little bit different.
