This guard has popped up on our local version of ebay. Looks to be a good bargain at the moment. Is it correct for a J model Buffalo or off something later? Would you mind looking at the link and giving me your opinion?
I don't know my buffalo's real well, but I see a hole for the fender strut bolt in it, doesn't that make it correct for a 74-76 or thereabouts ? I think the B model 77 was strut less. I may be wrong though.

Agreed - I don't show a good photo in the Field Guide of the fender so perhaps I'll have to add something, but it should have cable guide holes on both sides. That fender could be for a late K or L model (1973/1974).

If at first you don't succeed, just get a bigger hammer !
Ian you are correct, its for a 73 or 74 Buffalo, since those models carry the saddles with two holes for the braces and one cable guide hole.
By 75 to 76 the strap saddle was gone on the braces and hidden inside the stay with a screw.
