RE: Mudsling or Hugger? - 2

Thanks gang
I think £150 for a piece of moulded plastic is a lot of your hard earned. But it does appear to be the best solution to rear protection. It also looks far better than a Hugger.
My next question is,
why don't BMW fit a mud sling as OEM?
Surely it would cost them pence and save us £150 😊
Once again thanks for the replies.

I've bought the Wunderlich version of the Mudsling type - it's a bit cheaper at around 120 quid. I've yet to fit it as the bike hast arrived yet. The main difference looks to be the Wunderlich item is cable tied in place (nothing wrong with that!)

I use the Mudsling and the NZ fender. I agree with all the above and see no need for a hugger that flaps around like a very flappy thing....

I use the Mudsling, the NZ fender and a Puig hugger. All are useful but the best for keeping the crap off the shock, etc, is the Mudsling. BTW, the Mudsling also fits with cable ties. Very neat, strong and unobtrusive.

What is this "NZ fender" of which you speak?

"that flaps around like a very flappy thing".........Isn't that redundant?

Possibly. They were fitted at different times: Hugger first, then NZ fender, then Mudsling. I couldn't be bothered to then remove the hugger. It does stop some crap being flung onto the shock and the seat undertray. And, as far as I know it does not flap like a flappy thing.

It is possible to make a mudsling type device at home, but

a) it would not look as good and
b) it would be almost impossible to be as durable

It can't be easy to make the MaMo products, no one else seems to try.

I say if MaMo makes a profit, good luck to it, and it is a just reward for a job well done.

£150 for a plastic mudguard is laughable. I'll put up with the dirt.
