RE: Mud guard/tire hugger - 3

I asked the same question of the company (Machineartmoto) and got a nice reply from the top guy there. He confirmed that the way the Mudsling is configured there no issue with the regulator. He's had a Mudsling on his own RS for several years...no issue. Excellent customer service, I'd say.

The R/R needs air flow but not a hurricane. The Mudsling shields the tire side but doesn’t keep air from moving over the cooling fins.

It's a good product. Did you get the X Heads also?

We can make it rain in the desert so both of us have the MudSling to protect the shock and the OEM Aussie Mud Guard to reduce the spray at the back.

Just purchased an Ilmberger carbon fibre hugger, I don't know how well will perform but it does look good.

I bought one of these from a forum member six years ago and its been on the bike ever since.
It works well and has protected the rear shock and the underside of my topbox from spray and dirt.
If I recall it was a straight forward fit, not sure if I removed the rear wheel to access the mounting bolts.
It was a long time ago.....

Installed the Mud Sling on my RS today. Looks like it will do the job nicely, but I'm curious...the clearance between the Mud Sling at its closest point to the tire is maybe 3/4" to 1". Visually that seems "close" to me, but the way the unit installs, there's no other way it could be. Installation is solid, and I can't see any way the tire could make contact with it, short of the cable ties or the screw coming loose.

Is that gap consistent with what you experienced with the Mud Sling?

I know Wessie may chime in that I'm "over-thinking" this, but I tend to pay a lot of attention to new bikes when I buy them, and become more casual about things over time.

Thanks so much from the "new RS owner"!!

Thank you, Lee, as always. I really appreciate your help with my numerous questions. The volume of those questions should diminish dramatically in the coming days/weeks.
