I am wondering what I could do about the rocks that build up between the swingarm and that short plastic cover above the rear wheel... I was thinking maybe the first time I take the rear wheel off I would also remove this and clean both surfaces, then apply a strip of silicone to keep the rocks from gathering there... Any thoughts?

A piece of duct tape or black electrical tape trimmed to fit should suffice.

I figured I could make silicone conform better and would look better...

Somewhere I saw a somewhat longer aftermarket "fender". Anybody else see this?

M1Combat -
I used my smallest allen wrench (thinner than hanger wire) to clean out the rocks and pebbles back there. Afterwards I applied a fine beed of black silicone, problem gone.
