About Flexi Fender | Flexible Tail Tidy Kits
Learn how Flexi Fender was created by dual sport riders who were tired of breaking metal tail tidies. Flexible, trail-tested fender eliminator kits made for real-world riding.
Built by riders who actually drop their bikes
Flexi Fender was born in the woods, not in a boardroom. Andrew, a retired firefighter and DR-Z addict who started designing parts after realizing most tail tidy kits can’t survive the way we actually ride—dropping bikes, log hopping, and learning as we go.
As Flexi Fender Grows we will continue to push out quality products and upgrades for other bikes. We have a strong passion for Suzuki Engineering and hope to bring the most incredible products to market for those who share that passion.
How Flexi Fender Started
For years I rode a built ’02 DR-Z400 and beat on it constantly. When Suzuki dropped the new DR-Z4S, I jumped on it and immediately started riding 6–7 hours a week in the trails—dropping it almost daily, smashing into logs, and finding every weak point on the bike.
One of the first parts to tap out was the rear end. Most tail tidy and fender eliminator kits were either overpriced, brittle, or looked like an afterthought. I wanted something that kept a factory-clean look, but could handle real dual-sport abuse.
So I fired up CAD, 3D-printed my own flexible design, and started torture-testing it. When I could stomp on it, try to rip it in half, and hang my 190 lb body from the tail without failure, I knew I was onto something worth sharing with other riders.
What Flexi Fender Stands For
Flexi Fender exists to solve one simple problem: build tail tidy kits and protection parts that bend instead of break.
We focus on:
• Real-world durability – Designed on bikes that see dirt every week, not just photo studios.
• Factory-friendly installs – Using OEM hardware and mounting points wherever possible, with no cutting into your stock wiring.
• Clean, OEM-plus styling – Tidy, minimal designs that look like they belong on the bike from the factory.
• Rider-driven design – If a part doesn’t survive how we ride, it doesn’t ship.
Where We’re Headed
The DR-Z4S / DR-Z4SM kit is just the start. Flexi Fender is being built as a platform for dual sport and ADV bikes that actually see dirt.
We’re working toward:
• Fitment for more models like the DR-Z400 and other dual sports
• Nylon SLS-printed parts for even tougher components
• Additional protection and convenience parts for real world riding
