    I bought both front and rear fender extenders on eBay and fitted them to my new bike today. No issues with fit or rubbing. Total cost £40. Your video was a great help. Thank you

    I picked up my bike at the end of march, just as winter decided to come back for a week. It broke my heart riding the 25 miles home on wet salty roads but a least it does show where the rear wheel deposits all the road grime and it's a fair way up your calves! I still can't stomach buying the mud sling though 🤣
    Nice video again too.

      that's why GS ownersare generally older so they can buy those bits 😁

    MAM Mudsling is a great product. Has been on my bike for 45,000 kms. Keeps the suspension components clean.

    Collected my GS today. Have been online ordering all the very expensive bits of plastic I plan to fit! Your videos have been hugely useful in helping me to plan how I fit them.

      Glad to have been of help . May even get to ride the bloody thing tomorrow rather than fitting bits to it . 😂

    I fitted ebay equivalents which cost AU$37 for the mudsling and AU$20 for the fender extender and they have worked fine for the last 17,000kms. The Machine Art prices are pure gouging and unacceptable.

    Ahhh, what i did is remove my enduro bash plate because I dont go off road. The OEM is back on. No rubbing. 😎

    Nice job , but £189 for 2 bits of plastic is ridiculous . Your choice of course but i got set from our friends in the far east £26.50 inc Del. Quality seems very good and fitted well although the incuded tieraps snapped as i tightened the mudsling on. just an option if anyone is wanting a cheaper version

    • @gsd32i
      @gsd32i  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I know what your saying but the east just copy stuff and have no product development costs . Everyone has a budget and yup there are choices for everyone . Bennett’s did a good piece on Knock off stuff not so long ago , radiator guards etc . Ride safe 👍

    Great video! Have you had any issues with the Hayes brakes? They are two piece, and brake fluid tends to leak. Do you prefer the Brembo or Hayes? I ask because I saw them on your bike.

    • @gsd32i
      @gsd32i  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Brakes simply brilliant. Not bothered that they aren’t Brembo. Hayes is the parent company to Brembo I believe . They’ve sorted the leaking units out so not expecting any issues .

      That is just great! I’m headed to Germany in October. And will purchase a 2023 BMW GS1250. Your videos have helped plenty as well as other channels I follow. Keep posting, and thank you.

    @donmartin9567 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hmmmm, I'm wondering what happens when your front end compresses a bit. The cutouts that you did with the dremel will then be "higher" so won't you be back to getting some rubbing on the crash plate?

    Why not buy cheap chines copies? They do the same thing for a fraction of the cost. Paid under £30.00 For muddling and fender extender! Four years in ..just as good!

    • @gsd32i
      @gsd32i  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      because they’re cheap Chinese copies , but no doubt made in a factory next to where mudsling make theirs. TBH I didn’t even think about going Chinese…choices choices 🙈

      @@gsd32i thanks for the reply mate..I gotta say it. Altogether a reputable company, made with top grade plastics, I feel my cheap Chinese moulded plastic does the same job. Makes you wonder what the mark up, is! I have to follow up with, this. I would never use functioning, parts or safety equipment..even tho I don’t have deep pockets. Cheers.

      Not really a design booboo......it was my booboo in getting the BMW Rallye sump guard which sticks out more than the oem one!
