maxxam Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Looks good! I like the mud guard although it seams like the Leon spelling on the side supports is upside down. Also, can you post a few pictures of where the mud guard attaches at the swingarm? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornetmike Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Looking at their youtube video, I'm not sure what the purpose is - it seems to deflect all of the water at some force towards the underside of the seat/electrics/shock linkages, neatly bypassing the protection that the hugger gives. If you are worried about water on your back, surely the original number plate mount would do a job. If you are riding with a ruddy great top box, that would surely do the job of preotecting your back anyway.

duhs10 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I'm confused by everyone commenting that the mud guard is forcing water towards the underside of the bike... Where exactly do you think it goes without the mud guard? If you were riding through that much water. The underside of the tail is going to be soaked, tail tidy or not. Mud/splash guard looks to do its job well. '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras... Fayetteville, GA, USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where exactly do you think it goes without the mud guard? If you were riding through that much water. The underside of the tail is going to be soaked, tail tidy or not. Mud/splash guard looks to do its job well. I would assume a large amount of that water would be sprayed outward in the form of a rooster tail. (I suppose I would appreciate it if I was riding behind it in a downpour) The fact is, it's being concentrated, apparently at speed, into areas where you really might not want it. With a redesign that collects and redirects the water back and down, they might be onto something, but as it stands this is just another thing to 'farkle' your bike with. Personally I prefer to look at a nice wide bit of rubber on the back of a bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
