Any ideas how to stop getting a wet back when the roads on wet roads the water sprays that high up it hit me on the back of the helmet and runs down my neck as well on my back the bike has got a standard rear mudguard and tail tidy fitted?

Not without making it fugly. Even the OEM plate holder didn't stop the spray.

I had the same problem. Only solution was to wear a hoodie under my jacket, the hood stopped the water going down my neck.

I was under the impression the 'strada guard helped with this. I've just accepted a soggy *** whenever I'm riding in the wet with the 'tard and a tail tidy. If you have a LOT of expendable income I bet this would do the trick - Rizoma Licence Plate PT516B but it's insanely expensive.

I love Rizoma...right up until I see their price tags. I've never been keen on hanging stuff on/ around the spin-y parts and I can't think of many things near ground level that haven't rattled loose or backed out on this bike yet.

That price is joke, can't believe people pay that.

K2 racing in Thailand makes a mount like that, but it's a small rear fender instead of the license plate. It's about $100 before shipping.
