• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Hitch Mud Flap - can I buy just the mud flap?

There is a recent video by Shawn Smoak too that explains the process of riveting the mud flap to the hitch. He says a simple pop rivet tool won't do the job. The rivets also may have a PN in the instructions.
 
Make Your Own

I made this mud flap and bolted it to the back of the trailer hitch
also cut a piece of thin metal to go around the existing fender and
mounted to the trailer hitch. The reason for that was a lot of spray
in heavy rain coming from the tire in between the trailer hitch.

I picked a cheap mud flap up from advanced auto parts made a cardboard
Cutout and designed the mud flap then I transferred to the rubber and cut it out.

First prototype, I made a little too long and when I put it in reverse pulled it off.
Luckily the mudflaps came in a pair so I had a second opportunity to cut another.

Great job... looks good.. I'm sort of wanting to modify this some.. I have a Goldwing with Rivco hitch pulling the 622. Goldstrike makes a fender extension but I do not want to add to the bike. I'm going to make a bracket to make a mud flap like yours, but it will mount between the ball and hitch using the ball to secure it behind the bike. That way when I ride without the trailer, I take the Rivco hidden hitch off, the bike looks stock. Then when I put the hitch on, it has the additional flap. Was looking at modifying or using the brp plastic piece.. I liked the look and style.. and mount to the hitch pin ball nut.. Almost like your modification, but in my case I don't have the two arms.
