Mudguard rear left ( R1200GS LC 2013 ) | MUA45047
Mudguard rear right ( R1200GS LC 2013 ) | MUA45048
Genuine BMW parts from Motoworks, £12.08 each side.
Most dealers seem to know nothing about these parts, they are not in the accessory brochure.
 
Whilst I can see how the covers will keep your legs clean, they don't seem to do the job (I'm hoping) the Mudsling will do.

Namely keep the shock and back of the swing arm clean. That's why I'm going to wait.
 
I brought some from Pidcocks i had the same problem they had no clue so i did the hard work for them and found the part no's, I've just found the invoice, the parts no's and prices are .

46638545047 - side splash cover £9.50
46638545048 - side splash cover £9.50
46638545046 - fitting kit £17.84

Vat £7.37 total = £44.21

Hope that helps, i have the TT ones now and the only difference is the cost. :(

VAILABLE FROM MARCH 2014 - SPECIAL EARLY BIRD PRICE
The MudSling® offers the ultimate level of protection....
Machineart, designers of specialized products for BMW motorcycles, introduce an all new MudSling® rear mudguard for the 2013 onwards liquid colled (LC) R1200GS and R1200Adventure models.
BMW have provided a minimal rear mudguard for the liquid cooled models but it is insufficiently long and wide to capture mud and water spray thrown forward onto the suspension and to the sides onto riders legs. This new MudSling® increases the surface area to each side by up to 3", and downwards by a full 7" to cover and protect the outside of the paralever arm. The MudSling® LC is injection molded in resilient polypropylene with a fine texture matching other plastic part surfaces on the GS. It is precisely shaped to engage the bottom of the existing fender and fit tightly against the frame. As of this date the MudSling® LC fits with BMW stock pannier mounts as well as those of Touratech Zega Pro, and Jesse. Others will be evaluated over time.
The MudSling® LC continues the MudSling® line with a tradition of attention to detail, excellent appearance, and functionality - all characteristics of the MachineArt brand.
The MudSling® is exclusivly distributed in Europe by Nippy Normans.
Comparisons show that the MudSling® is thicker, stronger AND gives more coverage than any similar product!
PLUS it has a far better finish which matches OE plastics.
Designed to keep the muck that the rear wheel throws up off you and the rear of the bike, the MudSling® is a top quality product:
It offers great protection for the rear shock, riders legs and paralever arm !
The protection is so good that the stock shock guard is no longer needed
More features:
***Manufactured from 4mm thick injection moulded polypropylene which is very resilient
***Quality textured finished matches the OE finish.
***Easily fitted securely in seconds
The wide design of the MudSling also keeps the under seat area cleaner
Includes full fitting instructions and relevant fittings
NOTE:The Mudsling LC is suitable for use on bikes with lowered suspension.
Fits:
R1200GS LC 2013 on
(including factory lowered versions)
R1200 Adventure LC 2014 on
(including factory lowered versions)
****************************
So fits ALL years of the liquid cooled R1200GS and Adventure from 2013 INCLUDING factory lowered versions. Fits with or without ESA.

Crikey you lot are amusing. Getting worried about getting dirty when out on you motorbikes!!! Whatever next?
 
Well we can top up Nippy's bank account for year end, and hope he is in business when the Mudsling is finally available I guess..... Happy Christmas Nippy !. :-)
Will be glad to get my hands on one...
 
Sorry, looks like the pic's didn't work in my above post !!

Nice 120 mile ride today.
This is how the bike looked after........and it has the infill panels each side !!
Without the panels the crap used to go all over the seat as well, so they do help a bit !

So.............it begs the question

Why the hell did you buy them:blast

I thought they would be better as the BMW still allow shit to be thrown up, between the frame infill on the rear. I prefer the look of the TT and there's no cable ties around the frame so do look neater, and tbh the TT guards are actually 2 covers per side rather than 1 per bmw, so do a better job. But £193 !

Plus I'm a Touratech slut, some of the stuff is tat and some is good stuff, but feck knows where they get there pricing from.
