I have done the water jet test, it is a success. Waiting for the rain for final test

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 👍🏻
