    Hello Guys,

    Wanted to know if there is any way to prevent water coming on to shoes and engine while driving in rains???

    I use my TB for every day commute so not using it in rainy days is not an option for me.....
    In Mumbai, you get many roadside vendors who provide a plastic sheet and tie to your crashguard by zip ties, effective solution to avoid splashing water on your shoes and engine, looks ugly but helpful

        I have not got it on my bike, I don't commute on bike in rains, only long rides. But will try and send a pic from some other bike.

          Imagine a plastic cardboard type sheet about 2 feet by 4 feet. It is tied to your crash guard. It sits between tyre and engine.
          It is nightmare from aerodynamics point of view. Because it just big sheet which offers good air resistance!
          But protects engine from splash.
          It does not look good. As mentioned, it is effective and practical solution.

              Not only does it look odd , it would affect the engine cooling (who cares about aerodynamics on a bull ) to an extent
              Rather, i would suggest you get a mud flap installed at the bottom on the mudguard, its a 10 min job and effective. Any local mech or maybe even svc will help you fix it.
              A colleague of mine has one such installed on his tb350 and it does its job

                      Just was talking to a guy who bought a Classic 350 no mud splashing issues for him.. No mud flap no rubber sheets. Was surprised!

                              Not used the 3m stuff, but have used nulon's stuff including their grease spray. Pretty good and economical too.
