Spray protection for BMW R 1250 GS
Owners of BMW's new R 1250 GS can significantly improve protection from mud, grit and water spray flung up by the wheels with the Avant Front Mudguard Extender and MudSling rear mudguard from Machineart.
Made in the USA from tough injection-moulded polypropylene, to match the bike's other plastic part surfaces, the Avant Front Mudguard Extender adds an extra 140 mm of length and 50 mm width to the front mudguard. Specially designed wings on each side give extra lateral coverage for the downpipes and painted engine casing, without adding excess width. It sells for £57- including VAT.
Fitting a MudSling increases the surface area of the standard rear mudguard by up to 75 mm on each side, and by almost 180 mm downwards, offering significantly more protection for the rear shock and paralever arm. The wide design also helps prevent crud being thrown onto the rider's legs, and keeps the under seat area cleaner. Precision cut to fit the existing guard and frame perfectly, the MudSling requires no drilling and can be fitted to bikes with lowered suspension too. It costs £142- (inc VAT).
The MudSling and Avant Front Mudguard Extender are currently available as a great value twin pack from Nippy Normans at just £169 including VAT, saving £30 on the price of buying the items separately.
