Fitting the MachineArt MudSling and Avant mudguard extenders to my BMW R1250GS,

This should take you about 5 minutes for each extender to fit. However, my new GS has the BMW enduro bash plate , which protrudes forward more so than the standard one , causing the Avant 's high spots to catch on the bash plate, ONLY when its on the centre stand, when turning the bars from side to side. On the side stand, or when riding there is no issue.

Gutted I had to take a Dremel to remove the high spots 😢

Expensive for 2 bits of plastic, but very good quality .

Be aware that certain knobbly tyres may rub against the rear Mudsling, so check on the machine art website or other forums to see if tyres are an issue. My bike has the Michelin Anakee adventure tyres fitted and although clearance is only small, 5 mm at the least, there is no issue with the tyre rubbing, confirmed by riding the bike using all riding modes, preloads etc.

The addition of the 2 items should keep a lot of road muck etc off of the BM
