Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #1 Not needed if you only ride when it's dry. 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. To me the rear of the bike looks more finished with the Aussie Mud Guard in place.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #2Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #1 OEM? Is it a BMW part? Link? Thanks! |

OEM part and a straight replacement. A picture is worth a thousand words..... |

Part number etc here ... |

What I was looking at was something to protect the rear shock area...this mud guard doesn't appear to do that. |

I have the hugger and aus/nz wider guard, plus the avantguard at the front. |

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #10I suppose... but my own Mudsling is now on it's third RS, and apart from switching bikes, it has never had to be removed (and the rear shock has never needed attention). It's a very trivial matter to do, anyway. KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS->R1250RS |

It's a very trivial matter to do, anyway. If it's on your third RS, it must do the job. Do you also have the tire hugger (PUIG), or just the Mudsling? Sounds like the Mudsling may be the way to go, and it's a clean, simple install, too. |

It's a very trivial matter to do, anyway. I have only the tire hugger, I didn't like the zip-tie solution for the mudsling and the necessary removals for the servicing. The tire hugger is a simple 2-screw to torque and loctite install - 10 mins work. For me it kept most of the crud or direct debris off the shock and our legs. After 800km without washing I've managed since delivery in December (in the slimiest weather you can imagine) the shock only got some random drops here and there while the inside of the hugger is full of all sorts of junk from the road. no stone chips, debris, tire fling or similar on the shock or shock area

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #14Zitat von Valks im Beitrag #13 What about the zip-tie attachment was problematic? I watched the installation video on the company's website and the whole thing seems secure enough, and servicing would only require cutting the zip-ties and removing one (threadlocked) bolt. |
