Mud Flap

[billpowell]

Has anyone come up with a good looking mud flap. Everyone that follows our RT complains about the rear tire discharge of sand, rocks, water, etc. Thank you very much.

All kidding aside, Spyders fling rocks, water, anything that gets under the back wheel. Had lots of complaints too, now ride at the back of the pack. Just trying to be considerate of those around me.

If they insist on riding behind you, they've been warned. :lecturef_smilie: :shocked:

RT - Rear Mud Flap

I was not happy that the rear mudguard of my Spyder RT -S did not cover the rear tyre far enough down allowing water to spray up

I could not find an after market Rear Mud Flap so desgned my own

I used a piece of Rubber 1/4" Thick - 12" Long and 9" wide - The rubber had cord running through it - Which makes it stronger
less likely to tear or split - The rubber was smooth on one side and rough on the other (Due to the cord running through it)
I fitted it with the smooth side on the outside allowing water and dirt to be easier to wash off

I fixed it with 3 Stainless Steel Nuts. Bolts and Washers underneath the Number plate - On the inside I used a piece of Stainless Steel sheet
4" long about 9" wide trimmed to fit just inside the number plate holder - This braces the rubber sheet and stops it flapping about and getting
caught against the rear tyre

Whilst at it I also added a rear reflector angled to been seen by following Riders, Drivers etc
If you just stick a rear reflector on it it points upwards ok for Helicopters, Planes but no use for following Riders & Drivers


Ive posted some photos as this may help explain the above

lower mud flap

Mine is essentially the same, except I used plastic screws/nuts and an old Georgia license plate on the back to keep it fairly ridgid with a couple reflectors.
Works great.The flap itself is from Tractor & Supply like someone mentioned above. Been on 2 years and still looks pretty good.
