    Do you know whose it is? I think that's what Stig is planning to do. (I've already done to my TA)

    I called mine the DuckBilledTransAlp for a while!!

    I saw it here - http://web.telia.com/~u54112052/my_africa_twin.htm - been thinking around the same lines, just not sure what I think about it yet.. perhaps something shorter, and broader, like the GS1200 fender?

    And some excellent race shot when you dig a little deeper! Same mudguard theory as mine, but with an extra back bolt and small low crud catcher. (Agree it works well though.)

    Reckon it looks a bit too long.

    It also needs a brace like on my LegoBike.

    please excuse the shoddy artwork - but maybe something more like this (and more like a duck..) -

    Much better !

    To recreate that,just get an Acerbis shortie Supermoto front mudguard.

    That`s what I put on my XLV750R and it`s rigid enough to not need a brace.

    Suddenly, I feel quite sane.
