With a title called “getting your back end splashed” I was a little concerned clicking on this thread. Ok, I was pretty interested and hoping to maybe see a video, or a least some photos. Lol.

 

I have one on my Speed Triple, uses high bond tape to attach to the number plate, I also used a couple of 5mm screws to properly secue it

 

So no videos then?

 

Why I don't do tail tidies any more!

 

Hi, Mike. I, too, have a 2019 Speed RS fitted with an EcoTech tail tidy. I never seem to have this problem. But then, I live in Arizona. So my one and only suggestion is to move to the desert where most of the year it only rains in our dreams. But that's probably not the most feasible--or inexpensive--option. I do hope you find a solution!

 

that's why my Bonney has full guards ,and my Deauville has an extension on the front Gard . you dont get every thing on you ,and on the motor

 

Fine then, I’ll stop with the funnies. I have the same tail tidy but don’t ride in the rain, if I can help it. I have been caught out in the rain twice I think, but the whole bike was a mess not just my backend. If you plan on wet rides, sorry I couldn’t help that one, then maybe the oem tail might serve you best. There might be other options, but I’m not aware of them. Cheers.

 

It seems to me that you’re in need of more exciting dreams Sandi .

@Mike2105 I can only presume you missed my post -

 

Does that really make a difference?

 

Very much so

I used it on my 2016 Speed Triple and now on my 2010 Speed Triple
Catches all the spray from the back wheel

 

Not my bike BTW. Stole it from the interwebs

 

I got this. Works a treat!

Don't worry about the year, I've also got an rs and it fits perfectly.

 

i try to avoid the wet stuff ,but i'd rather get splattered than have the standard monstrosity on the back of my bike

 

Hi Mike, CarbonFBR based in Scotland do an extended rear hugger in either plain or twill, its quality kit and stops the problem you describe.

 

That’s good to know, I’ve got a 2018 RS and recently fitted an Evotech tail tidy too. Took me a while to decide but definitely looks better (not someone who always reckons that’s so). Have to say I think the dirty rear end issue was nearly as bad with the original tail - far worse than a Street 675 I had before. I’ll have to give the hugger extension a go - I did try the Fenda Extenda from pyramid to stop the front end mess but those for earlier models don’t fit the RS.

 

I put the fenda extenda on and like you say, fit isn’t perfect in any way but it certainly does the job and its better than nothing!
I did a mod on the evotech tail that stops water getting in the gap and it only costs £3. No rain in the seat assy at all.
