Title: Diavel/Multistrada type splash guard for S*R monsters. Post by: Mr.Purple on July 25, 2013, 02:18:19 AM Since I'm touring a lot on my monster, I have not yet done a tailchop.
Its hard making a compromise when the bike looks fugly with the frame sticking so far back, while I still don't want my back full of water and dirt when its raining. Then I thought of the splash guard from the Diavel and Multistrada. Have anyone seen something like this on a S*R monster? Could it be modded from a Diavel type? Or made from scratch myself? Any input? Title: Re: Diavel/Multistrada type splash guard for S*R monsters.

How about a plastic piece, 16-18-20 inches long and 3-4 inches wide, bolted on with two wing-nuts to the under-seat tray - forward and hidden most days - rearward and protective in the rain....

That is my backup solution. Im still looking for a splash guard type solution connected to the SA. If I could get one cheap I would have bought a one from a multistrada Multistrada and try to find a solution mount it to my swing arm. Alternaltives are the two small bolts fastening the rear chain guard. Pinch clamp bolts could also be used, although I would rather not mess with them.

I don't think that they are a problem as far as durability goes.

I don't think that they are a problem as far as durability goes. Depends on the roads. They are a removal/replacement item if you ride on rough roads/dirt according to some owners (and I removed mine when I had it).Title: Re: Diavel/Multistrada type splash guard for S*R monsters.

also, what i think may be true is teh eccentrics are swappable. |
