That flap is on my K3, it doesn't work as the water is travelling in a upward direction off the front tyre, the fenda extenda stops this.

Yep, I've heard that too, good idea but doesn't work.

You will still need an extender... Lots of peeps on K3+ models are STILL having this issue!

For less than £20 & five spare minutes to fit you can have peice of mind!

If you ride in heavy rain the flap is useless and you will need a fenda extenda as I found out.

flap
 
Standard rubber flap is too small: the mud just goes up the back, even with a fender extenda. You need one of these:

The flap will also go missing, eventually.
