Maier Rear Splash Gaurd anyone??

David_S · 10-10-2010, 05:03 AM

It seems another company has come out with a rear mud guard that is much more affordable than the mudsling. Nothing against the folks at mudsling but regardless of the R&D I just couldn't stomach the price. Anyone have one? if so what are your impressions? Maier rear splash guard Also sold as an Ilium Works but they look identical.

I've got a Maier on my 798. Fit well and was easy to install. Obviously functional.

I have the Ilium works one as they are local to me it works great and a great price at $63

It is fine, go for it

I looked at the ilium part (online), it has a Maier sticker on it

I've got one on the f8. relatively cheap and totally functional. Definitely recommended

Does anyone have the Maier splash guard mounted with BMW Vario luggage rack? Any installation conflicts?

I have it, works great, no conflicts!

It comes within a 1/4 inch of the rack but doesn't touch it, didn't even notice it when installing. I can take closer photos if you want since my bike is parked at the moment with 1 inch of ice and 4 inches of snow outside!!!!!

Awesome, thanks! Headed to order a couple of them. Don't worry about any more pic's, I like this one. It shows how well it blocks dirt/mud from the rear shock.

Yeah, when it is right out of the box it may not look like the best thermo-formed piece of plastic you've ever seen but once it is on the bike and dirty it looks stock and does a great job

i lowered my 800GS slightly(15-20mm), and it is quite clear to me that the Maier Rear Splash Guard comes into contact with the inner U joint of the swingarm...

Whenever i go over bumps/humps, there'll be a creeking, rubbing sound coming from the contact points at the left side of the splash guard hitting the inner part of the swing arm.

I should post some pictures. I bought the Carbon Fibre ones.
The friction has removed about close to 5cm of the CF film paint.

=(... the sound is getting a little irritating... i might have to trim the edges...??

My Maier install was done before I could even finish my beer

flubbyhog · 02-06-2011, 08:08 PM

I got one too, nice fit. The holes are predrilled and you have to use some zipties to band it to the frame but it's fine. I didn't want one that hugged the rear wheel either.
