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?

I'll be very surprised if a homemade, and probaly the Rizoma piece too, won't shake until it breaks. The movements are violent - even more so at the end of a 'stick'.

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....

@Stoppintime
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.

 The BMW R GS series has one hanging off of the end of the swingarm that seems to survive quite nicely. 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).

from what I'm seeing the eccentric of the MTS has two cutouts with tapped holes for their mount.

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