Dirty top box, messy rear

[CivilDrone]

Afternoon
As per topic
Getting tired of having to wipe tail all the time
Sadly hugger doesnt help much apart from keeping dirt away from suspension
Any suggestions to prevent this?
I have seen hugger-looking fenders which cover back of the wheel which should stop all the nasty stuff being thrown at the rear end
Any help/advise apreciated
Regards

Well you seem to have asked and answered your own question.

Good lad.

My blackbird came with something called a "ducktail" it sticks out from the rear guard an supposedly keeps the arse end cleaner

If your number plate is covered in shit, it can't be read by cameras.

If you happen to be pulled by the filth and they mention it, Say 'oh shit, thats a bit dirty' and wipe it clean with your glove ....

I'm a bit boggled by the question TBH.
Top boxes tend not to be an aid to cosmetic styling.... so to my mind, it's sort of like putting a hiking back-pack on a glamour-girl..... then complaining they don't look as sexy as in a bikini!

Why do work-shop calender's spring to mind, and cries of "that wont pass elf'n'safety", alternating with images of the few female mechanics I have met in real life.. and Kylie Minogue, in a boiler-suit in Neighbous vs her scantily clad in later pop wideo's?!?!?!?!?!?!

And whilst indulging such warped train of thought; how many of you other over 40's, have similarly had the notion to try count the sequins on her bikini, on the principle, that she's only little, the bikini's even smaller, there cant be THAT many, surely!

Back on topic.... is there one?

If the weather that crap, top box getting road-slimed, I'd expect any-one to be wearing a wet-weathers, so no real problem to open & remove carrier bag of luggage from it. & I'd expect bigger issue to be how wet & dirty over-suit got and risks of that making cloths beneath mucky when togging on or off.

Big rubber mudflap? Maybe do something with an old carmat and some zip ties?
Or just accept that its part of the joy of riding at this time of year
