So would you go for a BMW type of back mudguard ?

nah will still have a crm mudgaurd just chop back as far as posible cr's and other mx bike they dont go back so far ??

Hi Nabz,
Most of the older Mxers didnt have the 'loop' at the back of the subframe. The 2 tubes just ended with a bung in each side. The loop just gives it a bit more strength, important if u carry a pillion. As long as you think the rear light/guard wont wobble to bits, shouldnt be a prob.
I did once cut up an old rear guard and fit it under the existing guard as a stiffener and that worked well.
Regards KK

ok cheers kk !!
will cut back loop out wounder how much that peice will weight ......

not a bad idea KK i may do something similar to the front mud guard as on the highway i would swear it was trying to take into flight if i didnt know better.
