Wunderlich splash guard or MachineArt MudSling for BMW R1200R RS LC

So with the back of the R1200RS covered with mud once again I need to fit a Wunderlich splash guard or MachineArt MudSling. Are there any opinions here on which is the better guard?

I also intend trying to make for rear part of the mudguard a wider plate to fill the gap to number plate. there is loads of spray coming up there at the back which comes right to the top box due to the rear end being too slim.

I hope to make a small plastic plate from a black 5l oil drum that would cable tie on like the splash guard at front of rear wheel when I get one. I know it sounds cheap but as I have been off with Covid and need to spend on other things as well.

When comparing to my Sprint Gt there is basically bugger all of a rear mudguard. Its OK for those that only ride in the summer but surely BMW have better designers than whoever came up with this shape.

You'll find favorable opinions for both, here on the forum. I have the Mudsling, as well as the Auz/NZ inner fender. There are also a couple of DIY alternatives for that as well.

From what I can see that Aus fender is what I hope to come up with but was going to taper it to be the width of the indicator fixings and then carry on with the taper to the bottom of number plate and rear reflector under the number plate. You may not have a reflector there.

I've got the Aus mudguard and the Mudsling. The back end of the bike is still susceptible to a lot of road debris being thrown all over it.

The Mudsling is ace for keeping the shock protected and the Aus fender helps, a little with general splattering. I can't see the Wunderlich offering being any better than the MS.

I’m happy with the Mudsling, can’t compare to Wunderlich.

I think forum Member Richard130 has fabricated a rear fender extension from generic auto/truck mudflaps

I run with the MaMo Advant Guard and Mudsling. At the rear, I have the AusNZ fender.

I have the Mudsling to protect the rear shock and the Aus rear fender for the rear of the bike.
I'm a little cheaper than Richard and used a piece of free vinyl flooring sample for a extension :)

Here is my $15 generic auto rubber mudflap solution to the lack of the Aus fender extender in NA. I glued and screwed the two halves of the mudflaps together to make a splash guard and managed to attach it to the license plate holder and to the underside of the stock fender (somehow). it has worked very well for the past three years to keep road splash off the rear of passenger section of my bike.

I say “no” to the rear hugger type of kit. If your tire blows or other accident happens, it could shred apart and damage the rear drive casing as it mounts to it. I like the alternative mudguard BMW makes for some markets and the Mudsling. Those two provide a proper, complete rear wheel well.

I could not remember what a Wunderlich hugger looked like so I Googled it.
Found a link where one failed after two years and the thread mentioned the Wundelich hugger is made by Puig.

I have the MaMo Mudsling and it was easy to install and looks decent.

The Mudsling keeps the important stuff pretty clean, but I’ve found that the best way to control spray is to install the touring cases. I also attached a mud flap at the bottom of the AvantGuard. This reduces a great deal of the mist that would otherwise be passed on to the back tire. It keeps hard, sharp things off of the center stand and rear tire, too.
