Mudsling from Nippy Norman

Durability

Check out the BestRest Products Spraystopper. It's a neoprene shroud that catches all the crap from the back wheel. Reasonably priced, 5 minutes to fit, lightweight, unobstrusive, can't damage tyres if it should ever rub and no risk of annoying noise resonation like some of those tatty-looking plastic jobs!

I've had the BestRest Spraystopper installed for a couple of years and about 30k and a great product, but it now starts to show its age and wear. Just ordered the Mudsling with NN and hopefully this will be as good and a "permanent" solution.

Removal of rear spring splash guard

Just installed my new NN MudSling and realized I now probably could do without the original rear spring mud/splash guard that is attached to the ESA/Rear spring unit. It would probably ease cleaning and for hot climate off-road it may help the airflow cool the rear shock more efficiently as well. Any other considerations I should keep in mind?

I think I've gone 3 times better

I've fitted a mudsling, a nippy's rear hugger and Touratech side panels, a bit overkill maybe but the last couple of days in rain and spray and my legs are bone dry (I also have wally flaps fitted)

All this on an 08 GSA with ESA, the hugger and mudsling are not compatible as they will both not fit towards the bottom of the shock so one needs to be cut, I debated on which to cut down, as I do 90% road riding I decided to cut the mudsling.

I think with this combination all the angles are covered

So what did you do

So what did you do to the original rear spring mud/splash guard that is attached to the ESA/Rear spring unit? Just kept it in place or removed it? To me removing it seems like the logical solution. I think it will look like a tidier and cleaner installation

I've just left it in place, can't really see much reason to remove it, it looks OK to me

Clean

Checked with Andrew from MachineArtMoto:

Yes, you can remove the original splash cover - it is now redundant. Doing so will look better.

and decided to go for it. Have to admit it would have been a snap to do it while installing the MudSling, now it took a little longer But at the end to me it looks nice and clean - and it felt good to be able to take something off as well - not just add

another for the Mud sling from NN. Ordered Sunday - delivered Weds 1st thing. Five minutes to fit (and it does fit very precisely). Then out in the rain - and home with dry trousers.

Not very bling but it does the business and it doesn't matter what tyres you have. Now, can I be arsed to take the original shock cover off?

What..

Not sure I understand

Any way, just so happens I'm in the middle of a service so wazzed these off in case it helps you picture it fitted?
