I understand the 'need' for a carbon hugger, but if you want to keep the arse end of your bike really clean, do you have the rear mudguard fitted. Someone will pop up with the linky thingy in just a mo. But at c. £20 it is a much better solution and works way better than the hugger. Just not as bling and non one really knows if you have it fitted.
Stealth shite reducer!
Cheers Phmode, I already have one fitted, thanks to this site. Never understood why is wasn’t fitted at the point of sale. Down to squeezing the cash out of the customers I expect.
I was surprised how much crud it kept off my luggage on a very wet 2 week trip. Rained almost every day, a bit like this years summer here in the South Wet, I mean South West 🌧
Certainly for the K12S the rear mudguard came in the box with the bike and was to be fitted if the customer wanted it. Because none of the customers knew it was there, because the salesmen didn't so didn't tell the customer, none were ever fitted.
When I went to NOG and asked for some new screws for mine cos they were naff, they had no idea what I was talking about. Took the service manager outside and said 'That thing!'.
After a while he came in and went into the stores and came out with a box with about a dozen mudguards and a pile of screws in. 'We always wondered what these things were for...' and he gave me a handful of the cheesy screws. I should have said I'd have the mudguards as well. Cost me £20 in 2016 for the one for my K13S and that was from the box in NOG
