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!

Oh MAN!! I feel your pain - I was riding home one day in a torrential down pour and ended up in a flash flood on a frontage road (along the interstate) - I have low pipes, but the water came up just below the exhaust whole on my cans!! I had to ride with my feet up on the frame to keep from getting washed off!! I firmly belive that if I had stopped that my Duc would have drown!!

Dang!

I have no suggestions except that fendaextenda, but is your exhaust 2-1, and it looks like a Zard?

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.

But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

exhaust = Mivv Suono - look big but are short, very oval (narrow) and sound nasty.

Fenda thingies look cool exept I think it's front only, will contact them.

That GC is what I'm thinking of. Like to fold it away so my bike doesn't begin resembling a GS.

I saw a guy do an extension with a piece of theirs ( from some model-who knows, perhaps it was a universal bit of theirs he trimmed to fit) to the back of the mudguard on his Multistrada 620 and said it was really effective.

I built this and it seems to work really well. Bolts on to where the stock rear fender did.
