Mr T and I did a ride last weekend. Nothing serious but encountered a little mud along the way. On our arrival in Hankey we were standing around enjoying a cold one when I noticed the difference in the bikes. Here are some pics to compare.
The 2 bikes are virtually identical, both Silver GSAs.
Both did the same mileage on the day, both did the same watercrossing and the same mud on the same route. Both were clean to start off with.
The only difference is that I recently fitted a MudSling to the rear subframe and an extension to the front lower mudguard of my GSA. Thanks Goose!!
My GSA with the front mudguard extension.
Mr T's without.

A closer look at the swingarm and lower shock mount with MudSling
And again Mr T's without.
I must say that, despite them being rather pricey, I am very happy with the result. Takes all of 10 minutes to fit both and no drilling or damaging of the existing plastics is required.
