DescriptionThe whole story▼
Protect your Kawasaki Ninja 500's drivetrain, underbelly and rear bodywork from road spray, mud and chain-flung debris with this purpose-designed rear fender extension from Puig. Moulded in impact-resistant ABS and finished in matte black, it integrates cleanly over the factory mudguard without altering the Ninja 500's aggressive silhouette.
Key Features
- Manufactured from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) — a thermoplastic renowned for its exceptional impact resistance and dimensional stability under road conditions.
- Matte black painted finish closely matches OEM plastics, preserving the visual continuity of the Ninja 500's bodywork.
- Mounts directly over the original rear mudguard, extending coverage to reduce rear-wheel spray reaching the swingarm, shock absorber and chain.
- Mounting hardware supplied by Puig — no need to source additional fixings.
- Puig provides a dedicated installation guide available for download, with step-by-step tips to simplify the fitting process.
- Weighing only 376 g, this rear hugger adds meaningful protection with virtually no impact on handling or unsprung weight.
Build Quality and Design
Puig has engineered this rear fender extension to complement rather than dominate. The ABS shell is moulded to follow the contour of the Ninja 500's factory mudguard, so the finished result looks factory-fitted rather than aftermarket. The matte black paint is applied to resist UV degradation and minor abrasion, keeping the extension looking presentable even after hard road miles.
Road Performance and Protection
The primary purpose of a rear tyre hugger extension is straightforward: intercept the arc of water, grit and chain lubricant that a spinning rear tyre throws rearward and downward. On the Ninja 500, the standard rear mudguard leaves the swingarm pivot area and lower shock absorber exposed. This anti-splash guard closes that gap, reducing the rate at which road contamination builds up on mechanical components — extending service intervals and keeping the rear end presentable. It functions equally well as a chain splash guard on greasy commutes and as a mud flap on wet B-roads.
Installation Notes
The rear splash guard mounts over the motorcycle's existing rear mudguard and is secured with the screws included by Puig. Installation requires drilling holes in the original fender to accept the fixings — this is a straightforward process, and Puig's downloadable assembly guide provides clear tips to ensure accurate hole placement and a rattle-free fit.
