Those splash guards... Many GS riders find they make matters worse. The idea is that they stop crud being thrown backwards and instead they reflect it forward and up on to the back of the rider's legs.
I recall they were only ever fitted to pass some German regulation.
Best I've found is the Puig hugger and leave the standard number plate hanger in place. Puig hugger won't work with some knobbly tyres though and, I have to admit, the huggers done always look too great... But maybe better than a dirty great spade hanging of the back!
