Case guards for a KZ1100 Shaft

Hi Guys,
I'm needing some case guards for my 1982 KZ 1100 Spectre.
I'll take them in any condition.
Thanks

View Ebay item 375674344529

They look exactly like the set on my KZ1100A2

Hi Dave,
I purchased them but no joy. Unless someone needs case guards for a KZ 1000 LTD I'll cut them up and repurpose them onto my Spectre. Turns out the Spectre frame has no connection point along the bottom frame tube. It's 1 1/4" in diameter. Hopefully I can invent a strap or U bolt connector that doesn't resemble a muffler clamp.
Thanks

Thanks Dave !
Nice research.
The threaded anchor, that you pointed to, exists on my Spectre for sure but I would rate it in the reflector mount category for strength.
I like that Case Guard drawing and sure enough it shows a U bolt. It's the set I need.
Bill
Later: the case guard drawing made me take another look and the U bolt is used on both sides. Also, the anchor you pointed out matches the guard, so it must be as intended.
Thanks Dave you were right all along.
