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.

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.
