Thnx to deanbean for idea and design. :thumbup:

 

This 1st one is more a proto, i made it a fair bit wider and longer.. see how this holds up, then make 1 abit smaller and more curved off.

Rekon it will stop more muck this way.

Also tryna to make back guard off same design,....make front of design almost as long as back seems to work. :thumbup:

Cool, looks good. Rode my bike a few weeks back at Thomas River, through some serious bogs, and only got splashed in my face once. The design works well. Need to make one for the SS now.

Download the template and print it full size on A4. It will be the right size. I also extend the front, gives better protection.

Similar as above, picked up a plastic place mat from the Crazy Store for R10. Used the templates, with some modifications and now I have a front and back mud guard for the time being until I get a decent pair. But for R10 I won't complain haha :thumbup:

Great tread. I am sick of all the drains in Pretoria leaking poo into the streets (and one can't avoid that drifter if you are commuting with a load of cages on the road)

 

Will make on for my SS (Commute) Project as well...

 

Thanks for the share...
