Road Spray 2.5L 3 R

[DeerHunter]

My pillion is being deluged by road spray. Clearly the rear hugger/mudguard arrangement is inadequate.
Anyone else noticed this?

Triumph have had feedback from others about this issue too.
They have described the rear fender assembly as a design feature, clearly designed for fit rather than function.
This is the result of a 20 mile trip on a wet road, not raining.
After spending 21K i would have hoped for better or am i expecting too much?

The bike has no rear fender, that's what I suspected it'd do from the first picture I saw.

The read hugger should be about three inches longer. I am sure a carbon fibre version will be available soon to fix this.

Do you mean the bit around the number plate, or the forward bit under the seat??

The forward bit under the seat. Nice bike but only for dry weather. Nae use in Scotland.

It's a pity that after spending that much money that you still have to add some tin foil to finish off the bike.

Triumph needs two separate setups for the rear fender. The Hipster model has the current lack of fender. The non-Hipster model (that puts on more than 5 miles a week) has a full fender that actually keeps debris off your back.

Powerbronze in the U.K. have a hugger extender for that. Looks like the ant's pants.

IF you can get one. I tried, but got "out-of-stock." For a new product????

You have to be kidding. Boy what will Triumph think of next.
