    Question Splash guard rear shock absorber

    Since I have noticed that the rear shock absorber is only insufficiently protected against water, road dirt, etc., I wanted to ask what alternatives there are? With my motorcycles I attached always (since 1978) a bicycle splash protection in front of the shock absorbers, does not look good, but is effective.

    The photo I found on the net, but could not find anything (explanations)

    The easiest way is the shock boot, but that won't protect the air bag. However, a member here does commercially produce an air bag protector that appears to be promising.

    Shock boot & wonder if someone has done, & what size is needed worth investigating

    Nobody makes one because there's no need or demand for it is my guess.
