In the wake of Dodgy Knees dodgy chopping board splash guard, let's see the best and worst rear mudguards you can find, and it should make an attempt to keep the riders back dry.
I may also be looking for inspiration in regards to the rear end of my GSXS, which has a dangler for a rear mudguard.

Re: Motorcycle Rear Mudguards
Yozza's pic reminds me of the Kawasaki Drifter.
I remember it being launched... and being horrified.
I don't think they sold many.

Can you imagine it ever being ridden when/where it would even need it?Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Fri Jan 21, 2022 1:15 pmCan you imagine fitting that and it didn't, you'd be pissed off.

Re: Motorcycle Rear Mudguards
Even the ugliest Hardly Movingson rear mudguard is invisible when your on the bike and facing the front.
On the other hand when yer tossing it off at the burger bar you can see it...
Make what you want of all that.

Re: Motorcycle Rear Mudguards
This wasn't too shabby at keeping the mud off the rider

Re: Motorcycle Rear Mudguards
I understand the term for the Drifter's mudguards is "deeply valanced". Sounds a bit, er, odd. But these things sometimes need to be said.
