apologies for the thread resurrection but how is everyone getting on with the spray on back?.... had my first big ride out today and hit some wet roads. stopped for a cuppa and my back and arse was drenched, even my lid was splashed.

Does anyone know where the spray comes up from? for example, is it coming up from the front of the number plate or through the gap between the tail light and number plate?

if that makes any sense!

thanks

Yep, this. When it's dry, you get bits of grit being thrown up which work their way under the seat strap. Part and parcel of having a tail tidy. Looks the nuts, but crap at keeping the wet and dirt off.

Huh? Didn't realise the standard set up was so inefficient. Bin it and go down the far-improved cosmetic route then WB.
Yup... it's pretty bad. Had a tail tidy on my street triple and used to get soaked.... put the standard tail on and no wet back at all.

Might try and angle the number plate back further to see if it catches more grud and possibly add something to the stem that extends from the tail light to number plate bracket.

Personally do not like the splash guard look..... it's too Ducati for me!

Try looking for a duck tail, I think Pyramid Plastics do one that you stick to the back of your number plate.
