Dirty back end

[RickSkye]

Just passed 750 miles and loving the bike. But trying to keep the backend clean is becoming a real pain. Slightest bit of rain and there's crap all over the place.
The old 2009 hex was not bad at all.
Anyone found a solution?

ive got a imberger carbon hugger, mudsling and a touratech guard fixed to the number plate... keeps most of it off

 

[fatboytours]

Muslin should be Mudsling! !!!

Yeah, a Chinese Mudsling (not a cocktail) and these from Touratech works for me

A mudsling helps but won't prevent worst of it. A full hugger is only way.

Got the chineese mud slinger, and a number plate thingy.
Full hugger ?

Bin the bmw rear hugger..that way the shit goes out the back instead of all over the bike and put a number plate extender on

 

[RickSkye]

Already binned the rear hugger (advice from austin).
Got the number plate extender thingy.
I was thinking about further extending the number plate thingy.

Yes. Take the car if it's raining, and you don't want to get wet or dirty.

I've got carbon hugger, binned the bmw one and fitted number plate extender. Back end still gets filthy

I find that the problem is caused by the rotating rear wheel on a wet and dirty surface - only let the rear wheel rotate when the roads are dry and the problem will be solved.

The PUIG infill panels sorted my grubby rear end.

That should work

+1 for the Puig infill panels together with Fender Xtender, Mudsling & number plate xtender.

I live on west coast of scotland.
80 to 120 inches annual rainfall.
Have to go out when wet.

Obviously, some people don't go out a lot. Which is s blessing for the rest of us.

dont buy the Chinese rear mudsling type as they are rubbish, don't fit well and hit the swingarm as I have found out today from fitting it last night, mine is a 2017 GSA TE and I don't really want to rub the paint off a brand new bike so its coming off

buy a REAL mudsling

That comment would be useful in the Mudsling thread.

That comment would be useful in the Mudsling thread.

others have said the same on that thread so thought it would be of some use here also
