Get a used Mudsling, make your own number plate extender and take off the TUV shovel.

£4 old wet suit and a bunch of cable ties to make a mudsling for me and a mate, front for mine back section for him.
The sides of the suit to make side infill panels, under seat area.
And the shorty legs to make my hand muffs, mmm warm hands even last week.
And an old piece of galvanised steel for my number plate extender and two more small pieces for my crash bars to protect my fuel tank (GSA).
Now with the above my rear top box gets covered with shit still but me and the misses stay dry and clean, total cost about £15 and 2 hours work, can't see why people pay tours tech for the simple bits n bobs.

The price Machine Art charge for a blow moulded bit of plastic is 
. Good for them but taking the P for us.
I bought a used Mudsling.

Keep seeing lots of GS fitted with huggers.
Anyone who goes further "off-road" than their local grass verge (which I know isnt many) should take heed that they are very easily destroyed!
I've smashed 2 that were fitted on bikes when I bought them. First was on a Varadero on a back lane with grass coming up through tarmac and mud and shite built up on tyre and then ripped the hugger off. Second was on a 1050 Tiger and that was on a driveway made of those yellow stone stuff. One got trapped in tread and split hugger down the middle.

Ive got an Ilmberger that's wide at the leading edge (back) so stones stuck in the tyre wouldn't do it any good. Maybe fit a metal edge on the rear shovel running close(r) to the tyre to knock mud/stones off the tyre before they get to the hugger.
A Mudsling is well out of the way but can be split by stones coming off the tyre. Those stones will hammer the frame paint and the mudsling can rub the frame paint.
An alloy mudguard forwards from the rear shovel with a hugger style bracket to support the front end, would keep dirt at bay and be strong enough to cope with stones. It's then the issue of how close is enough to avoid it clogging up with mud etc but still give adequate dirt protection.
