Saul Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 Well deprearetly dragging this post back on topic I Hugged the Himalayan today. I don't think it is to much of an eyesore as the matt black blends in. I am not worried about it getting clogged up as I have no plans of taking the Himalayan off road any further than a muddy car park. I will probably go to a more road biased tyre when the time comes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 First hand experience today, not very effective. The shock is still pretty clean but the rest of the back of the bike is shit high as normal. So works a bit but I had expected more after reading a lot of stuff about them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was to go along that route I would buy something substantially lighter to do it with. My bike was bought as a commuter first and bit of a toy second. If I was to change my mind it would only be 4 screws and 10 minutes to change back to standard. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 My mudguard extender worked nicely today. Rode into Porto on semi wet roads, and back, and my shock looks clean. Also, I was wearing jeans and sneakers and would have gotten wet feet and calves, stayed dry As I thought, this tire is bulkier than the worn TKC70 before, so there's a lot less clearance. It did not rub on the motorway, though, but I only managed to get to 150kmh because these tires aren't really feeling very safe when scrubbing them on wet streets in rush hour. I think it'll be ok, if not it's 4 zipties away from coming off anyway, I do like dry feet though 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original had a mud protector thingy on it. Looking back, I would have gone with Ohlins instead. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Update on my mudguard extension. I rode 300km on very wet motorways and there is a significant difference on the amount of water that gets thrown into the back of my upper legs. It’s a success as far as I’m concerned, compared to stock. Riding in rain still sucks! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 Well de farkled the Himalayan to go back today. I can say that the Hugger was pretty ineffective at keeping the bike arse end end clean. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
