Hi
Anyone tried one of these ? Any feed back apart from why would you want that ugly thing on ya bike 😁..tried two different tail tidys and replaced with the stock fender, still get a wet butt on a wet road 🙄

 

[Delbert]

It's not much better with the stock fender tbh , I often get caught In the rain, I did see pyramid do an extension flap for tail tidys just not so sure on the look

 

[Delbert]

Indeed,, even a wet road soakes ya butt !! Never got this with my fz1 , there must be a cure !!

 

[Delbert]

I've just ordered a duck tail splash sheild from pyramid, it fits in the bottom of the reg plate , once it's arrived and fitted I'll report back . I'll post a pic later

 

[Delbert]

I'm going to fit with the standard fender , if it works I might be brave and try it with the tail tidy at a later date

 

[Delbert]

I carry some rain trousers in my bag , buy of course I don't always have my bag with me , even so the spray will hit the back of my helmet and occasionally drops down my neck ... Good old British weather eh !!

 

[Delbert]

Sounds interesting!! Post a pic when your done so I get a better idea 👍🏻, my splash sheild hasn't arrived as yet 🙄 **** posties

 

[Delbert]

Not been out yet but I don't think it looks too intrusive, if it makes no difference I'll just take it off

 

[Delbert]

Ah looks like I'll be taking it off soon 😩🤣..
I can see how your idea will work though 👍🏻

Some goods news and bad news.
The good news is that it does work.
The bad news is that the reason of splash in the back has 2 root causes. The first root cause is definitively the splash coming from the water crashing on the reg plate. So my DIY works.
I think the other root cause is the water splashing between the reg plate and the rear light. I did put a 20cm wide aluminium sheet, so I can only imagine it is not wide enough.
I ll order a 25cm and a 40cm ones and will let you know.

In the meantime, I saw this mudguard much cheaper than the one you had in mind:
Rear Mudguard for Suzuki GSX-S 1000 F / S Katana hugger Zaddox LW6 black

It's sounds like your on to something there, hopefully a slightly bigger plate will sort it ! .
Cheers for the link I'll check it out 👍🏻

Well I bit the bullet and fitted one , the duck tail as mentioned did very little.. let's see what happens when it rains!!

 

[Delbert]

Took the bike to work this morning just after a heavy shower , pleased to say the splash guard worked a treat, may not be to everyone's taste,(looks much better with the tail tidy than the standard fender) but certainly does the job and tbh I don't mind the look

 

[Delbert]

Yes as in my picture above, works perfectly 👍
