Did anyone elongate the rear mud flap?

I think I seen either a post or a video, which I didn't save, someone bolted a longer mud flap onto the existing one.

Why I ask, there so much sand and small gravel that accumulates around the area around the mono-shock. I was thinking of a way to make the flap wider and longer.. Just asking, not to re-invent the wheel, if there is already something that works.
 
Do you mean the rear hugger? There are a few aftermarket carbon options and a couple of full length fenders. Extending the boot-scraper license holder won't make any difference.
 
Looks overly expensive, but nice. I have seen someone cut the flap from some other bike and bolt it on top of the stock one, elongating it. I think it is like $20.

Shop around. Prices vary.

This is the lowest price i've seen here in the UK, but elsewhere, I don't know.

Huggers

There's always an option of making one, but the question surrounding that option is: Can it be made and function reliably for less than the one already available on the market. You suggest that it can, so go ahead and make one. I would if I were as confident as you.

I had the same issue. Sand and rocks built up there making cleaning tough. The Trik Custom rear fender keeps it clean and dry. No more crud under the seat area.

Love the look of this. Did you order it online with Trik, how long did it take for the shipping and how difficult is it to fix it. Thank you

Where did you get the fender and can you post up more detailed images of its connecting points (front and back please).
