The lower mud flap did a great job keeping the lower bearings protected, but I couldnt find a rear fender for the upper link so I modeled one myself.
What do you think?

I never understood why manufacturers never thought of protecting the linkage bearings from the mud that comes from the rear wheel. It’s so stupid. Have you ever seen a motocross without fenders?
I think that’s rad. I can’t quite tell fun the pictures – how is that connected to the frame?
Woah, thats a rad design! Actually looks like a thing I’d buy from amazon or something
Can’t seem to edit my original post, if anyone wants the files you can access it here. This is the first prototype, so i might update it once in use if there are any unseen issues. Also open to constructive feed back!

Looking at the picture first, I was wondering what that tiny fender was for. But after reading your writeup, makes sense. Great job!
Nice job! Does it really do anything though? The bearings are on the side of the linkage either way
