Fitted the wider aus/nz guard and it has no issues with the panniers and does give more protection to keep the rear lense clear.

Paul, is there a chance you could post a photo of the wider rear mud guard on your RS? Does it interfere with the panniers? Thanks in advance...

Here's pictures on our bikes.

I added a extension so it comes down to the reflector.
The extension drops down 4.25 inches below the mudguard.

One more pic.
You can see the mudguard without a extension stops at the bottom of a US license plate.

Hello Blackshirt
How do you find the AvantGuard for affecting the temperature of the front surface of the engine. How well does the Guard keep the front clean?

Are you using a Machineart Mudsling for the rear wheel and if so how well does it work for splashing the rear of the moto plus the riders legs?

Have you thought of using the Puig Hugger with the Mudsling or is the Mudsling overkill?
TIA

The Avantguard is not blocking air from reaching critical components. However, it does protect the case from road detritus and extends a little lower than the bottom of the front mudguard. It created an ideal spot for an unobtrusive mudflap that controls mist and pointy things from being sent back to the rear wheel. The Mudsling really just prevents mud and trash from being thrown into the frame ahead of the rear wheel, protecting the shock and frame from dings and filth. The times when I am most likely to ride in the rain are when I'm on tour. On those occasions, the panniers shield me from the worst. That wider BMW fender is interesting...I may see about one before Spring arrives.

You'll find the Aus spec wider rear mudguard won't stop all the crud being flung up.

My mission in 2019 is to be an even bigger cunt than I was in 2018.
I'm rockin it.

I agree, I have the Mudsling and Puig hugger fitted (yes they do fit together) as well as the wide Auz mudguard and still on a wet day / muddy roads some filth reaches the topbox when fitted.

When you live among the Amish, you'll appreciate the Avantguard for the protection from Horse Poop Crankcase Corrosion.

It's the BMW aux light bars on my bike and the Avant Guard are incompatible

Well the glue fix didn't last long on North Yorkshire winter roads!
I found some neat short bolts on ebay. Now the extender is firmly fixed and the bolts not impinging on the tyre.

Has anyone fitted the Puig front fender extender? It appears to attach under rather than on top of the existing fender.

The reduced space between the tyre and the mudguard/fender (when the Puig is ftted) is the reason I went with the Pyramid Plastics fender extender. It's worth doing properly; mudguard removal, g-clamps overnight while the glue sets... No issues with mine since I fitted it.

Cheers
