I've got a mud hugger on the front on my trance but after a few muddy rides think I need a rear guard.
What are people using out there.

You know, I've been thinking about the exact same thing... and I've been looking but so far I can't find anything I like. I've seen generic flat fold-up ones, but I'm not keen on the origami look.I've got a mud hugger on the front on my trance but after a few muddy rides think I need a rear guard.

The front mud hugger is great and looks OK. The rear mud hugger is susposed to be good also but looks terrible and it's quite expensive.You know, I've been thinking about the exact same thing... and I've been looking but so far I can't find anything I like.

I'm currently toying with the idea of building my own... unless someone chimes-in with a good one that suits the Trance well.
The pivots of your linkages are so clean! I guess the fender had to be that high for it to work that well?I have a rear mudhugger on my bike..had to cut away a little bit of the gaurd for chain clearance. View attachment 20102
Did you change out the stock spring? What did you go with?I have a rear mudhugger on my bike..had to cut away a little bit of the gaurd for chain clearance. View attachment 20102
Yes I had to change the stock spring...only because I'm a heavy rider...I contacted silver fish, and they advised me on a 650 spring..when I got it I tried it out. But still felt to bouncy, so I sent it back and got a 700..it works great..never had a coil shock before...it works great now.Did you change out the stock spring? What did you go with?
I believe that's their front short mugguard, but looks like its covering most of the link pivots. I just ordered one of their front long muggards, to see if it will get all of it covered. I'm currently using two different gaurds, put together, and not covering it all.Finally found one I like... sort of too late now that it's summer here. It's not really to keep mud off me (appropriate brand name then). I just want to keep mud splatter from getting all over the swingarm pivots and the pocket under the rear shock (dirt and water trap). Didn't have to buy on-line from overseas. Found it locally - it's a UK brand I've never heard of, from EVO cycles.

I like that it's wide with ample tread to fender clearance - but not too high and extends low enough to also shield the lowest suspension pivots. It's light and well made.
Although in saying that, I'm a bit concerned that it's beginning to give a 'motorcycle vibe'... which may give a false impression in and around shared-access trails. Oh well...

Yes, it's their front short one. It's twice the length of what I was using there the last time.I believe that's their front short mugguard, but looks like its covering most of the link pivots.

I really cant understand the lack of decent fendors from the bike frame OEMs.

I did, but still needed both to get what I would call good coverage. Here it is alone. Protected the bike great, but I always got soaked or smeared.Did you get a chance to fit the long Mugguard and if so, are you happy with the coverage? Would be great to see pictures if you have any. Thanks
