So...I did about 200 miles in the pouring rain yesterday chasing down a tag, and rode a bunch of farm roads where the Amish live. Consequently, there was an abundance of liquid cow shit :Topes on the roads, and unbeknownst to me, it sprayed liberally onto my back as I was riding. Is there an aftermarket extension or other option to keep the road spray off my back?
I may not be big, but I'm slow.

this is the Factory triumph extension , but they are pretty much made of unobtanium now a days .

I don't see why you couldn't get some Kydex plastic (the stuff they make holsters out of )
and form it to shape to fit the rear fender and bolt it on
simple two folds , one on each side

Okay, some engineering work ahead I guess :icon_rolleyes:

I thought your spell checker had gone mad, then I realised you have a friend with that Nick name  :icon_scratch:

Pyramid Plastics still have them available, a little cheaper by some resellers on eBay.

IMHO Those actually look better than the factory ones which had a very square profile.  If you have any trouble with international shipping, give me a shout.

Psst, Niall -Thats a front one.  :icon_wink:

Yeah, I've already installed one of those on my front. No rear on their website?

Or you could bung on a generic rubber mudflap, front and rear....

Sorry about that  :icon_redface: , could have sworn I typed "rear" in the search, just assumed they were using a generic pic.  :icon_scratch:

If you have a breaker locally, might be worth a look to see if you can find a similar shape from another bike that could be trimmed to fit.

I don't get the pricing? :icon_scratch:
To me that's saying that the kit is not available, but the individual parts which make up the kit are... but the price seems odd -9 quid for a full kit, but 25 quid just for the extension bit  :icon_scratch:

sevy,
bike bandit has OEM listed for $40

worth a shot

it lets you put it in cart, so maybe ................................

Thanks all. hermy's has the individual parts but no kit.

Hi Ssevy - am attaching pics of my mudflap - cost zilch. I found an old ford mudflap in the back of the garage with a nice rectangular bottom, cut to an oblong with Stanley knife, shaped top with Surform, so it was symetrical.

Attached under numberplate with two big self tappers.
Polished with Cockpit Shine.
Glued on a Triumph logo laminated at work (laminated paper is amazingly durable !)

The jobs a good 'un.... $40 for a bit of rubber ?!?

Cheers Rodger

Another very neat job.
