Mud Flap on hitch

[RanHag]

For those of you with a BRP hitch, does the mud flap do an adequate job in spareing your trailer of excessive tire spray or in there a need for one between the hitch and the bike?

Can't say... I pulled my first one out on the first :spyder2: a few weeks after I got it because every time I came up my driveway or up an incline it scrapped. Then on my second :spyder2:, the first thing I did was remove it.

Well, at least I know what doesn't work!
Thanks!

I have no issues. Some have...so they added an extension to their mudflap, like a brush type, that extender to the ground. Some have completely replaced their flap with alternate material that takes the scraping better.

Some owners have made a few adaptations to it... from extending the flap on the back of the :spyder2:, to adding an plate below the hitch covering a section of the gap between the hitch and the wheel... maybe others can post pics of their inventions. Me... I just clean!

No, if you hit any wet roads the trailer gets filthy. I made a plasic pieces that mounts to the bottom of the hitch that cut it down about 75%. If the roads are dry it stay more or less clean.

This was the best thread that I found on this issue. I'm still scrtaching my head how Lamont did it, and he even took the time to explain to me.

No, it doesn't. I extended the rear bike flap to help that. I also cut off about 2 inches from the hitch flap to keep it from scrapping driveways, speed bumps, dips, etc.

Mine can be found at post # 8. It works amazing with the little filler piece.
