This is the factory-listed Royal Enfield 879007 – FRONT MUDGUARD ASSY – FLICKER. Multiple trusted sources show this part number against Thunderbird 350 (NTB), Thunderbird 500 (NTB) and the Thunderbird X 350/500 body group, all describing it as the front mudguard in the “Flicker / NT51 / VT31” finish.
It’s a complete front mudguard assembly, pre-formed to the TB/TBX 19" front wheel and drilled for the TB lower-fork/mudguard stays, so it drops straight in — no redrilling or repainting. Use it when the original guard is dented, rusted, buckled from a fork hit, or you’re converting a repaired Thunderbird X back to the stock colour/texture. Because it’s OEM, the curvature, bead and mounting holes line up with the OE fork brace and you keep the factory look that matches the rest of the TBX blacked-out front.

FAQs
Q1. Is this painted or just primer?
This is shown by sellers as the finished “Flicker / NT51/VT31” mudguard for TB/TBX, so it’s ready to fit.
Q2. Will it fit a Classic 350?
No — Classic has a different mudguard width and fork-mount pattern. Keep 879007 for Thunderbird 350/500/TBX only.
Q3. Does it come with stays/bolts?
Normally mudguard only. Reuse your TB/TBX stays and fasteners or order from the same front-mudguard fiche.
Q4. My bike is Thunderbird X 500 ABS – is this the right one?
Please check part number before purchase.
Q5. What wheel size is this for?
For the Thunderbird/TBX front wheel/fork set as supplied by RE; it follows the standard TB radius so there’s no rubbing.
