Necessary equipment
Most manufacturers leave out items like this to keep the initial cost down. I usually try to avoid riding in the rain, but I've ridden wet roads without and recently with this tire hugger and it seemed to keep a lot of road grime off the back of the engine. It was an easy install, weighs practically nothing and looks pretty good on the bike. I also added the Fenda Extenda; available at revzillla.com that helps to keep road spray off the radiator and headers.

Nice custom fit, but not long enough
This was pretty simple to install. The only problem I had was the same problem I always have: the stock bolts and screws are soft metal, so you can't afford to be klutzy when removing them or you'll strip out the head. This thing fits perfectly and looks great. The only thing is, it's not big enough to completely shield the underside of the rear end from road gunk, and that's what I bought it for. So I don't recommend it for that purpose, but it's still a good item if it suits your needs.

Easy Install
On in 15mins or less. You use the right tools and it can not install any easier. Looks like a factory piece. Is it overpriced absolutely, could you make one cheaper, definitely not. Suck it up and pay up. Well worth it!

Really overpriced
This looks great on the bike, but it is way overpriced for a piece of plastic. It should cost about the same as the front fender extenders.
One warning on install..... the bolts on the bike are made of an alloy of metal and butter, apparently. The two on the chain guard are no big deal, but the one on the inside of the arm was the bane of my existence. I did get it off with vice grips, because I refused to take the wheel off. The other location for attachment is filled in with a plastic screw. Pry it up a little with a small flathead to catch the threads, and then unscrew it by hand.

Looks good - Easy to install
I chose the Givi based on other reviews of their quality and of course moreover for me, it was the look I wanted for my 2015 Versys 650.
The install was very easy and straight forward. The factory chain guard fit over it perfectly. Took maybe 10 minutes.
Bang for the Buck Rating: Due to a bit expensive for a big piece of plastic. I think $10-$15 less is more reasonable.
Ease of Install Rating: Due to ease it was an easy 5/5
Finish Rating: Looks good. A nice smooth matte like finish with smooth lines. Mine had a scratch on the top but I opted to keep it as I barely remember it is there.
Durability Rating: 5/5 only because I just got it and it seems quality. I will update if it changes over time.

My feet are still getting dirt.
I bought this with the idea to protect my feet from dirt in rainy days and avoid cleaning them every ride with wet pavement. It protects a little bit, but my boots are still getting lot of dirt when riding with wet roads so it didn’t accomplished the purpose I bought it for.

It reduces debris/water spray, and it looks cool.
