Thank You. Honda Part # 0SK12-HL6-A00 Trailing Arm Mud Guards - List is $151.95 but I didn't pay that much. They mount to the tabs outboard of your trailing arms.

I traded my orange ‘22 R for the ‘23 R LV. Had 2200 miles on the orange machine. Trailing arms were knicked up from (what I assume) the gravel roads I was on. Do you think they would help much?

Probably, but more for debris being strewn towards the engine and trans. I bought Ricochet Skids which came with very nice bolt on trailing arm guards/armor that hopefully eliminates most of the scrapes and debris to the bottom and sides of the trailing arms. I'll fire you photos sometime tomorrow

Take a look @ Trail Armor. 1/2" UHMW full skid plate set, trailing arm guards, and front a-arm guards. Arguably the best stuff on the planet besides Yuengling, sliced bread, and oxygen.

There is a 10% off code if you find it on our web site ... 😁

Ok, I won't make you look ... the discount code is 10OVER250 (10% off total purchase over $250)

Link for all three for your 2023 1000R FLV:
(2022 fits 2023 - they haven't updated their web site yet)

I went with the skid plate set with the wrap around sides, not the trimmed sides. Those will have to be modified if I decide to install tree kickers, but I'd rather start with them and have to trim them than NOT get them and ... well ... you can't ADD plastic later.

Received a text from dealer day before yesterday that tune has been installed and the Talon Rips. Waiting on a few more pieces to complete including installing spare tire carrier on this one. Anyone holding a set of factory wheel takeoff's for '23/'24 Live Valve?
