Having took the bike for its first service yesterday, I can honestly say I have never ridden a bike in rain that has covered my legs in road grit and made my boots and trousers wet ,the bike is plastered , I have fitted a puig hugger at great expense and I don’t think it made any difference at all also have a fender extender . |

I have the Aus rear mudguard, a Fenda Extenda and a Mudsling. It's still a messy bike to ride in the wet. |

Indeed, it’s a real dirt spraying machine.
Carpe Diem!

Zitat von Sanemancured im Beitrag #2 I did the same thing, but added a homemade mud guard out of a generic auto rubber mudflap bought at the local auto accessory store as the BMW mud guard available in NZ is not imported into the U.S. Photo attached. But I agree that no matter what you do, the bike becomes a mess when riding in the rain. My Royal Enfield stays much cleaner due to its large and wheel-encompassing fenders.

Actually, I think I think the mud improves the look of the Lupin Blue... |

While people are discussing the NZ mudguard how do you fit it? I have one but there were no fitting instructions and Cotswold BMW were unhelpful when I emailed asking for fitting instructions so it is till sat waiting for me to take a closer look. I had expected it to fit inside the existing but it looks like you have to remove some part of the existing set up and I have not got round to closely examining the problem.

Can't remember quite how I did it but it was pretty straight forward. You need to remove the original joke "mudguard", as in the pictures, and then the NZ mudguard can be "slid in" without removing anything else. Reuse existing fasteners. |

if you look at there ebay advert and look through the pictures it show you which screws to undo and replace , you definitely have to remove the narrow one first.

Zitat von adey im Beitrag #9 You access three fasteners from under the bike and two fasteners are under the rear seat. Lee |

Zitat von adey im Beitrag #9 That's the one I had installed on my 16RS. During the last 5 state trip I just finished, we ran into rain from time to time. When I got home and detailed the bike, the spray from the rear tire showed that fender protected by bmw 30-35L top case from getting much if any crud on the bottom and back of the bag. |

Definitely an issue but mine much improved after these 3 spray protection add-ons: |
