Calling all fabricators who want to make a few bux

[Rudemouthsky]

If you can make me something like this that will fit my DSS Monster, (swingarm mount? rotor? ) I will reward you handsomely.

I am completely stuck on this end of my project. I keep throwing $ at it, but I don't like anything so far

[Gossamer_in_FLL]

I need that license plate holder....NEEEEEDDDD IIIIIIITTTTTTT!!!!

[Vishwacorp]

I've been looking to building something like this for my DSS Monster 620 as well. I found this picture a while back, and I was thinking of making something similar.

[Stormtrooper]

I personally think the "side mount" version is more subtle and appealing...not to mention easier to fabricate.  Have you considered this one?

[SpikeC]

 How would that work with a double sided swingarm?

I've considered it, but on my 696, there are already too many things going wide on the bike - namely, the exhausts.  If I'm going to move the license plate, it'll be within the body of the bike.  Plus, with the tail chop, it wouldn't hurt to have a little fender-like help to keep rain off my butt this Florida rainy season - lol

[Vishwacorp]

I haven't made any concrete efforts to get this fabricated, but my plan is to mount an arm like in the picture of the red/silver monster that gets fastened with the axle nut. On the tire side, put the license plate, and the plastic mudguard from the Diavel to keep the mud/water off my back in the rain.

Just start with this and mod from there:

Where are you located and which model do you have? I'd be happy to build something for you, need to see if I have the right on hand to build off of.

I'm in Cleveland...mine's a 2001 DSS Monster. A little mudguard like pictured would be a nice addition in there as well...

Over on ADV, you should find that it is actually referred to as a "possum scraper"  and the f650gs one looks like this in all it's glory

[Skybarney]

Personally I love the fender/license holder that covers the tire.  The 650+ price tag (and still needing a fender eliminator) turned me off. 

The possum scraper on the FS would look great on a Monster.  Actually much better than the Rizoma part......  Tail eliminator and no wet strip up the back or gravel in the seat.   

Flat out love it.  Although I do think we will be seeing it coming as a "stock" item on more bikes.......

 I could probably build something out of Titanium

[seevtsaab]

Why use titanium when you can use junk steel stock from the local hardware store and and old licence  plate?
Rattle can black, of course.
I attach mine '2 holes' shorter now.
I ride every day rain or shine spring-summer-fall.
I tried the 'swivel up under the seat' but it was chewing up my rear hugger. Guess the roads here require a little travel from my suspension.
Plastic screws, no tools to attach. Sucker is OFF when no rain.
I'm on a dirt road so wet = a real big mess, this does help. Yeah it's ugly! Do I wish my Monster didn't come to me chopped?
I do now!
Something like OP posted, if it worked would be awesome.

I don't mind a little ugly. But GS ugly? whoa.

[Skybarney]

Nice mud shots!  I also live down a long dirt/gravel road.  Maybe we should start a Dirty Ducs thread......

Were it me needing a mud guard I would absolutely make my own.  Some ABS plastic, a couple of wingnuts and a minor mod to my Rizoma tidy tail and voila, a slick looking easily stored solution.  I am always happy spending money on my bike (No Kids) and the Rizoma while elegant is flat out outrageous in price.
