There are clip on fenders available to help prevent the dreaded skunk stripe of mud up ones backside. They’re not as effective as full coverage ones, BUT, they’re easily installed and removed in a minute or so. Full fenders can require some engineering and fab skills depending on the make and the bike.

A custom made cover for a rack works well too, then you have a rack

I've been looking at racks, and this fuse frame doesn't have accessory mounting holes in the frame for racks and whatnot  :bash:

My bike has full suspension so I went with one like this. It clamps on the seatpost, this one looks like it has brackets for side bags

I seen one like that, but it doesn't hold as much weight.   I think 20 lbs?   vs  60

Don't overlook attachments that have a conduit hanger-like functionality.  Some that clamps around the rear axle hanger frames.

Ok I will try. The Fuse doesn't fit in with people from the Wedge
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.
