JayPo's 2024 Talon 1000R

RokBlokz is another option. @Coeus went that route.

I like RokBlokz because they have a bracket on the rears. But I don't like the gap on the fronts. If I get Mudbusters, I can always fabricate a bracket if I feel that is an issue.

Have you even driven that thing yet?

It's got a few hard road miles

I was gonna go RokBlokz but went with the Honda ones because they look more finished. The extra cost sucked but I’d rather have it exactly how I want it, that way I have no ragrets

Why do you think you'd go with OEM vs Mudbusters? Do you have a link to these OEM overfenders you speak of?

For the esthetics. The OEM overfender flares look more ... well ... OEM. More finished.

I do think the Mudbusters provide more protection than the Honda flares. I think that's why @TimG installed the overfenders, then installed just the rear Mudbusters.

Since I already have the Mudbusters, I'd only have to get the OEM overfenders and re-use the rear MBs. I know you're shelling out a bunch of money getting that buggy ready, so that may very well be a deal breaker.

And one curb.

OEM looks better IMO. I have Mudbusters but took them off after a week

Yeah, you could've probably been ok with their DustBuster line or products instead......🙄😂😂😂

They are pretty sweet.

Are those flexible at all? Looks like they'd get ripped off fairly easy if they get snagged on something...

Little flex, but fairly rigid. I think they will give enough if they hit something.

I think @Scrappapotamus put some on his also

@TimG had them on his Talon when he flipped on his side on Trail #13 (like I did just recently). He can advise if they held up - I think they did.

I just looked at the drivers mirror and it does have a missing insert like you noticed. There's no telling how long that has been missing 🤣. I don't really pay attention to stuff like that. The passenger still has the black insert. If you can find your black inserts then I would love to get them (or at least the drivers side). Maybe just bring them to MOM if you find them. Thanks.

Found them, @JayPo. Will bring them to MOM.

Awesome thanks

He did. We have a thread about them that’s sorta old. @TerryH has them on his.

Well I guess I don't pay attention 😄

Speaking to a group that knows first hand that reaching the point of no return comes quickly when kitting one of these Offroad machines. Splitting hairs on mud protection and then installing radios and an intercom system is kind of like the Pot calling the Kettle Black. A lot of us have built our machines in this manner and I can absolutely justify every purchase on mine. Most every ride has an event that fosters many of the gizmos we install on our rigs. We do these things because we want the protection, performance and a navigation / communication system which may save you, your rig, or maybe someone else going forward. At this point in most of our lives, If it makes you feel good, Do it. Hell, I'm debating whether to install chase lighting on the Talons. Someone talk me down please

Don't do it. Those things are annoying as hell when you're following one. 🤣
