P1000 Mud Busters vs. Honda Fender Flares vs. ?

[JEP]

Flares are a must on these machines. I had mud flying and sticking to the inside of my front windshield. I hated it.

The landscaping trim is a great idea. Little sad I did not think of doing it.

I built mine out of mining belt. Made templates in cardboard and cut the belt after. I enjoyed the weekend project. They work well but do not look at good a Mud Busters.

There is a cheaper copy of Mud Busters on Ebay. I am curious of the quality of them. Anyone have them?

I used the 4inch landscaping stuff. The plastic trim pieces that out line flower beds. Pretty cheap and easy to do.

Thats pretty smart, how did you attach it to the rear around the door opening? Any pics? I might have to steal this idea from u 😉

I've only had my buggy about a week, and I cn already tell I need to do something to keep the mud down. Not so much for me, but if my wife gets muddy/wet every time she rides she'll quit riding. Looked at the OEM Honda fender flares which seem nice, but it's just as bad in the back as it is in the front. Mud busters seems OK, certainly pretty effective if you get the entire XL kit. involves drilling a lot of holes into my new rig though, so I'd hate to do that only to find out they're not that great. For you guys that have had some success keeping your passengers and buggy cleaner, what did you use?

After using Liquid Rubber, they are PERFECT! Wont break, crack, or bend, due to being flexible. Fender flairs/mud flaps ........ modified - The Honda Side by Side Club!

While I’m sure the mud busters work well, I just can’t get past the looks.
I’ll get the OE flares for the front, but I’m gonna wait on the back til someone makes a flare that doesn’t look like s***.

With my rear panel on i can't use the dump bed so I just screwed them in to bed past the doors and on the bottom so the doors open and close. Not tha great but I did it at camp one rainy day and haven't really reworked them. But I guess they are working they haven't fell off yet

Narrow rocky trails and bridge rails can be a challenge with MB..

 

[Leukic]

I have the honda oem up front and they do really good and I'm wider than a stock pioneer I'm probably going to get mudbuster's for the rear in the near future

Where did you find those at. I can't seem to find them on hondas website

I have the Honda fender flares on front and mud busters on rear. This setup has worked fine for me. Didn’t like the looks of the Mud busters especially on the front.

Like the Cedar/tin look.
I was among some old growth cedar today that are 15 to 20 ft in diameter and over 100 ft tall.
Beautiful stuff.

They came on the pioneer when I got it. You can probably get them at your dealer

Azon for about a buck 27.
They look better on the front. How do they work, the fender extension? The MB on front work great but watch the width if where you go.

Are you talking about the honda oem ones? If so they use push pins

Yes, the Honda extenders.
I mis-spoke,
I understand how they mount with push pins thanks.
My real question is do they stop the mud at the very bottom of the door where the extender stops?
Looks like mud gets by there.
MB stop about 98%, IMO.
Thanks.

Here is where they stop.

Thanks,
The MB fronts go all the way to the frame tube. I was wondering if the Honda extension let's mud by there? . The Honda extensions really look best.

There is some mud goes by but it ain't that bad. And I'm wider that a stock machine. I'm thinking about getting something to fill in the gap

[1184bcjmill]

I used self tapping screws but it would be just as easy to use the plastic push pins. Mine have been on for two years now and holding

Just underneath the fender correct?

 

[1184bcjmill]

Yeah. If you zoom in on the pic you can see some of them on the front fender
