I have the Puig Hugger and the insides of the rear subframe covered with rubber. Came back from 500 mile trip to Oban yesterday and my top box and back end of bike were still caked in mud.
Mudsling update
- Thread starter Nutty
- Start date
I had taken the splash guard off to test the Vortex theory that had been mentioned before, but can't say I could see any difference.
That's why I been in touch today with a few ( what's left ) specialist bespoke panel beaters ( bikes and cars ) to make me a proper mudguard . Probably it will look shit , but it will be effective ( I hope ) , bottom line is the guard has to be close to the wheel and cover almost the top part of the wheel . Definitely crap aesthetics , but better than covered in shit ( cow poop ) ....
Me to, my right leg/boot was covered in shit after being caught out in the rain, the Nipster will be getting my coin for a mudsling .
The cost is less than some huggers, and this thing does a much better job than any hugger can.
Not according to post #290
never ceases to amaze me,the amount of gullable people out there !!!

Should be on there from new.
Does not matter whether it costs £1.00 or £134..(which it does amazingly).We should not have to pay extra for something that should be a standard fit and hope that all you guys that have bought one send a copy of your invoices to BMW and ask for your money back, paid within 30 days.
I will continue to make do with the earlier recommended "truck inner tube and cable ties method," but I used sticky silver "tank tape" as it matched the frame!!!!

Just got mine and fitted it, the bike is so much smoother and quicker........
I was not referring to the cost but the fact that Nutty states it is better than any hugger.
Post #290 states it is crap

How about the gear shifting?

There was talk on here about the 2014 bike having improved coverage of the rear mudguard - does the mudsling also fit the 2014 bike?

It is listed for the 2013 - 14 GS and the 2014 GSA on the packaging

Received at last, fitted, not too impressed for £130+
Well the long awaited Mudsling arrived. The great Beemer in the sky only knows why it took 14 months to design/build/test. Fitted in seconds. Why is it so skimpy ?... The design lends itself to much larger side covering but it is cut back to leave (still) far too big a gap.....
As the movie said... there will be mud...

So, a few mixed reviews, what I want to know is it it the most effective way of stopping the spray? Or is a hugger a better option? Or the number plate extender thing? Maybe all of them for a spare £350

Or , a pair of plastic over trousers from your local farm shop for £5.00 that you keep in your tank bag... Seems better value to me!

Looking at the pictures of the Mudsling , I'd be very surprised if that keeps any muck off the back of your legs, it's certainly going to keep it off the rear spring,
