Rubber foot protector thingys

[1150]

After over 15 years on a R1150GSA I'm back on a R1150GS and a big difference in bikes is how much spray flies up onto my shins from wet/damp roads now.

On a previous R1150GS I had a pair of rubber foot protector thingys which, from what I recall, did a good job of cutting down the spray onto boots and legs.

Do such things still exist as I can't seem to find any. Any suggestions?

Wally Flaps I think they were called, had some back in the day Google should find some

Google 'Wally Flaps'. (No its not a windup)

Lots of pictures.

You might ask on here. Wanted etc.

You might have to make your own.

Yes, that's what I'm looking for - shame it's unavailable. I've asked when/if they will be back in stock.

Would not be a whole load of work to fabricate something similar, possibly much cheaper, find old car mudflaps from any car in a scrappy and fabricate something suitable, metal parts and bolts from most wholesalers.
Or you may try here, unfortunately they are in Greece, but may have a closer at hand dealer/supplier,

Pardon our interruption...

Get some of this stuff, I've made big mudguards for the tractor out of it, it's flexible but fairly stiff

It's amazing what you can make out of cheap car floor mats... Weirdly after multiple GSs/ boxers and winter dirty feet I've never had a set or Wally flaps...

Wally flaps are briliant stops all muck being stayed up reccomended.

I didn't even know I was missing something until I read this thread

A most marvellous invention

Both my 1150 GSA’s have Wunderlich Wally Flaps = dry boots and feet

 

[Udders]

I recently sold my spare pair and some new rubber.
Still have a pair on the Garage Queen though. Not that it goes out in the wet.

 

[Demongroover]

Motorworks sell them.

 

[fred22]

Motorworks sell them.

Do you have a link to the page that they are on? Or what they are called?A search for "wally flaps" doesn't return any relevant results

 

[HxH]

Well spotted by Demongroover #15.


Motoworks do indeed sell them.....look under mudguard, check which type are suitable for your model of bike.

Quick link:- Motorworks

Ah, but HxH already supplied that link - they are in Greece, not saying that's a bad thing and maybe they look better than the the motorworks ones, two bolts instead of one, but these wonderful Brexit days, not sure how much they actually cost to get

 

[fred22]

Some nice farkles on that site actually
