Sorry - don't know what the actual part is, but see attached pics of perished shroud assembly that is just behind rear shock / swingarm pivot. Is something that I can get a replacement for?
thanks for any help

Cheers

That's the splash guard under the battery box, and nope, no replacements available, gotta make your own.

Sheet of 1/8" thick rubber I found at my local hardware store.
The last splash shield I replaced was so far gone it completely crumbled, so I used a card board template I trimmed...trimmed and trimmed to get the correct pattern to trace on the sheet rubber.
I just took my time....
