Kraton DIY Rear mudguards

[Paul777]

With global supply chains still a mess and good prefab mudguards for the EXB arms hard to come by I final found a dirt cheap source of what seems to be the ideal plastic for making rear mudguards. (And as a bonus I now have an excuse why I can't paint the house!) Strong enough to work, but not so strong it will break the arms at the bolt holes if it takes a hit.
At just over 10quid for 5 trays you can't go wrong. https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08JHCMQX4
The worst of the mud has been knocked off in the pic - when I finished the run the mud was packed on and the arms behind nice and clean - definitely essential kit.

I used an empty Tide container. The color works nicely with the red Kraton body!

I have been looking into homemade mud guards for my Kraton 6s as well....it’s seems these are 2 viable options I also been keeping a eye out for plastic tool holders at work

Like Joe ah kept an eye oot for stuff kicking aboot work, found some valve packaging that was perfect, turns oot it was kydex.

Wish I'd lifted more before the job finished noo!

Good score on the kydex looks awesome too!!
Gonna take a look around shop tomorrow to see if I can “recycle “ stuff to try

Here are a couple of templates that might help people get started with the measurements for all the holes. These are for the EXB arms.

The relief line makes it look OEM

I used the tide version on mine (hint: it keeps the mud off the rear arms)
