  1. It does increase road spray onto the rider, but not enough to give me a concern. However, if I was actively knowing I'm riding in wet conditions with mud and what have you, then I'd entertain putting the guard back on. But again, for my style of riding (primarily and only roads with the sun out), it's not a problem.

    Plus, removing the rear tyre guard (not the hugger, the ugly bit at the back of the tyre) helps with the feel of the bike according to some. I just removed it as its only purpose from factory is to meet a regulatory requirement for road usage (spray reduction for other road users) and it's fucking ugly.

  2. Yes. I live a mile up a dirt track and there’s notably more crunge when I leave the guard off. OTOH leaving it off makes chain adjustment much quicker

  3. Agree with comments from both @freshage and @Ethel the Aardvark, I removed the crud catcher from both of my Multis. Looks better and as Ethel says, chain adjustment is much easier. If you have a topcase that'll catch most of the spray.

  8. The design of the V4 has IMO definitely ensured the maximum distribution and level of road surface crud over both the bike as well as the rider, more than any other bike I've ever owned and believe me, I've owned and ridden a few........:scream:

  15. I just never liked the rack, I prefer the weight low over a top box so I never saw the need for the rack and it's just awful to look at IMO. To be fair, after the exhaust, tail tidy and a few other trinkets I should have just got the damn RS :joy:

    That said, I love the engine on the PP, it just suits me better and I'm happy with it and no dry clutch. All the little differences from the previous version add up and feels like a better bike. Can't wait to get this thing run in and serviced :upyeah:

    Maybe an RS after the inevitable update? :D
