The medium grade liquid aerosole works a treat.

You can get a product the looks like wet suit material that fits over/around the guards . it flex's allowing the mud to fall off .

Glad wrap.

Not pretty but it works a treat in wet, super gloopy clay & peat bogs.

Yep, but when riding in races the stuff builds up and adds weight to the bike.

I was serious about the glad wrap, it flexes enough to flick the muck off as the bike bounces around. Just cut it off at the end of the day.

Drill LOTS of small holes in the guards. Saves guard weight and less surface area for the mud/dirt to stick to. Win win ...

Fuck I'm clever ....

Yep, smart idea, little bit of mud and water in the air box never hurt an engine and having your back covered in mud is way preferable to it being stuck to a mud guard.

One request though, can you do the mods to the fj, 1 inch holes should work 4 inches apart, 3 wide, take it from puke to orewa in the rain and let us know how it went before we go cutting up our dirt bikes ?.
