Tough top quality product, really easy to fit.
Take my advise and buy the front extender and the rear as a pair and save yourself some cash. When someone buys a GS/GSA these should be the first additional parts they fit.
highly recommended

Easiest thing I think I have ever fitted to anything. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Cannot fault it at all.

The MudSling is exclusivly distributed in Europe by Nippy Normans.
Comparisons show that the MudSling is thicker, stronger AND gives more coverage than any similar product!
PLUS it has a far better finish which matched OE plastics.
Designed to keep the muck that the rear wheel throws up off you and the rear of the bike, the MudSling is a top quality product:
It offers great protection for the rear shock and for the very exposed battery!
The protection is so good that the stock shock guard is no longer needed
More features:
***Manufactured from 4mm thick High Impact ABS
***Quality textured finished.
***Easily fitted securely with two screws and four zip ties.
The wide design of the MudSling also keeps the under seat area cleaner
Includes full fitting instructions and relevant fittings
NOTE:The Mudsling is not recommended for use on bikes with lowered suspension. Suspension travel interference may result.
ALL BIKES - Always adjust your suspension when going from 1 up riding to 2 up and/or 2 up loaded to prevent the suspension from bottoming out - this will optimise the performance of the MudSling.

This article recently appeared in BMW NEWS AMERICA:
AFTER 11,000 MILES AND 8 MONTHS IT IS STILL SLINGING MUD ! !!
"The Mudsling mounts just forward of the rear tire, and protects the shock and battery housing, including the partially exposed wiring, from whatever your tire decides to throw in the general direction of the interior of your bike. Mounting is so simple that after walking out to the parking lot, the MudSling was installed in less than 10 minutes, including listening to advice from the 3 to 5 member peanut gallery that gathers whenever tools come out amongst the BMW community".
"The MudSling mounts so simply that anyone familiar with the working end of a torx wrench can do it. Remove two pre-existing T25 torx head screws from under the rear end of your bike, place the MudSling with the pre-drilled holes aligned, run the screws back in, and then attach zip ties to the sides which cradle the frame bars. Then get on and ride."
"Fabricated from high impact ABS plastic,
the MudSling has protected my GSA from
mud, rocks, gravel, dirt and water from the
south end of Belize to halfway up the Labrador
coast, including the nastiest Iowa
clay and gravel mixture known to man. At
one point the bike had so much of this clay
jammed in between the front tire and the
fender that I was forced to stop and scrape
it out using a handy stick.
Twice !!!
I can only
imagine the mess this would have created
for the rear shock and fixtures well up
inside the bike without my MudSling
standing guard. The stock BMW "protection"
would have been about as useful as a
parasol in a hurricane!"
