DESCRIPTION OF THE MUDSLING FOR THE R1200GS LC AND ADVENTURE LC MODELS

The MudSling® offers the ultimate level of protection....

Machineart, designers of specialized products for BMW motorcycles, introduce an all new MudSling® rear mudguard for the 2013 onwards liquid colled (LC) R1200GS and R1200Adventure models.

BMW have provided a minimal rear mudguard for the liquid cooled models but it is insufficiently long and wide to capture mud and water spray thrown forward onto the suspension and to the sides onto riders legs. This new MudSling® increases the surface area to each side by up to 3", and downwards by a full 7" to cover and protect the outside of the paralever arm.

THE FACTS

The MudSling® LC provides 220% more surface area than the portion of the stock mudguard that extends down between the shock and tyre. It is 185% wider as it covers around the sides to reduce splash forward. The right side is wider than the left because of paralever movement clearance limitations on the left side.

The MudSling® LC is injection molded in resilient polypropylene with a fine texture matching other plastic part surfaces on the GS. It is precisely shaped to engage the bottom of the existing fender and fit tightly against the frame. As of this date the MudSling® LC fits with BMW stock pannier mounts as well as those of Touratech Zega Pro, and Jesse. Others will be evaluated over time.

The MudSling® LC continues the MudSling® line with a tradition of attention to detail, excellent appearance, and functionality - all characteristics of the MachineArt brand.

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 matches 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, riders legs and paralever arm !
The protection is so good that the stock shock guard is no longer needed

More features:

***Manufactured from 3mm thick injection moulded polypropylene which is very resilient
***Quality textured finished matches the OE finish.
***Easily fitted securely in seconds

The wide design of the MudSling also keeps the under seat area cleaner
Includes full fitting instructions and relevant fittings

NOTE:The Mudsling LC is suitable for use on bikes with lowered suspension.

Fits:
R1200GS LC 2013 on
(including factory lowered versions)
R1200 Adventure LC 2014 on
(including factory lowered versions)

****************************

 

So fits ALL years of the liquid cooled R1200GS and Adventure from 2013 INCLUDING factory lowered versions. Fits with or without ESA. Fits GS LC with all tyre including Conti TKC80’s but clearance with the same tyres is very tight on the Adventure LC.

DESCRIPTION OF THE AVANT FOR THE R1200GS LC AND ADVENTURE LC MODELS

 

The best extender fender in the world !

From the makers of the MudSling

The Avant Extender Fender offers these features:

EASY, NO DRILL INSTALLATION !

ADDS 5.5" TO THE LENGTH

ADDS 2" TO THE WIDTH

WIDE BUT LOOKS SLIM

The new MachineArt Avant fender extension INSTALLS WITHOUT DRILLING and adds an extra 5.5" of length AND 2" of width to better control mud, tar and rocks splashing back onto your pipes, engine and surrounding components.

This patent pending design installs with two self-locking screw clamps that grip the fender underside for a secure fit WITH NO DRILLING, while the angled back wings give you wide coverage without looking wide.
Injection molded in resilient polypropylene, it EXACTLY MATCHES the texture of the original mudguard.
There is nothing else like it. !!!

The front fender of the 2013 R1200GS_LC is both shorter and pointier at its trailing edge than the previous generation GS making the exposed painted surface of the front engine case even more vulnerable to stone damage.

The Avant reduces clean-up maintenance and helps keep the surrounding parts looking new for longer.

"A key feature of the Avant extender range is ease of installation with no hole drilling required, unlike other available fender extensions", says Andrew Serbinski, Principal Designer and President of Machineart.

"Not only is it simpler to install, it looks beautifully integrated with the styling of the new GS and is transferable to another bike without leaving disfiguring holes behind, a benefit for resale value". The Avant Fender Extender fits over the top of the fender and securely engages the tip of the stock GS LC front mudguard with a unique molded-in shoe. Two compression clamps grip the underside of the GS LC front mudguard on both sides, drawn tight with T25 Torx Head screws. The characteristic flared wing shape widens the splash coverage area without looking wide.

The fitment of the Avant with sump guards and Crud Catchers.

The Avant Fender extender will fit with all BMW and Touratech sump guards except with the BMW ’Enduro’ sump guard when fitted to the Adventure model (but it is fine on the standard R1200GS LC model). The Avant will not fit with our Crud catchers are either the standard GS LC or Adventure LC.

Fits:

R1200GS LC 2013 on
R1200Adventure LC 2014 on

FITTING THE AVANT WITH SUMP GUARDS (SKID PLATES)

1. With Cymarc Crud catcher - the two items basically do the same job and fitted together the clearance is very tight - not advised.

2. The Avant fits the 1200 GS LC with either BMW’s standard or optional Enduro skid plates.

3. The Avant also fits the 2014 GSA LC with BMW’s standard skid plate, but does not comfortably fit the GSA LC with the optional Enduro Skid Plate part #77148533747. The reason is that the front end caster angle was changed on the GSA, reducing clearance with the Enduro plate.

4. Two aftermarket skid plates that fit properly with the Avant on the GSA LC are made by Wunderlich and Touratech. Both do not extend as far forward of the engine centerline as does the BMW Enduro plate, leaving sufficient room for the Avant.
