the gran canyon has a nifty "floating" mudguard.. i don't know how you'd adapt it to the monster, but i always though it was a good idea.



Some ducs and bmws have this same mudguard.....

it does. 

if you think about the rooster tail, it only happens above certain speeds.  the small guard blocks the part that slings up to the seat.  it has to be placed in the right spot, but they work very well.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I'm thinking the sexy tail chop is great for looks, not so great if you ride in the rain and especially
if you live on a dirt road and ride in the rain. This picture doesn't do the amount of mud on my bike justice.
Note the mud on the top case mount, there was a case mounted on that. The lock and latch on that is living a hard life.
Anyone seen a mud guard to ADD for a DSS? Multi and Diavel are SSS so doubtful any application here.
Would love something I could rotate up over the hugger, or folded up James Bond style under my license plate.
Ideas? Riding in the rain has become synonymous with riding these days.

This mud was from a 25 mile ride (commute home Friday) in the rain, last 1.5mi on my dirt (mud) road.


Oh next pic posted will be with Showas and Tall boys installed!


any chance you could PM me a link to the site you bought those mivv's from???
