Tourers look much nicer with flaps, IMO of course,mine has not a spot of rust around them ,shouldn't be a problem as long as you give them a hose out once a month. :cool:
As for 5 ones fitting,i'm not sure, my breaker didn't have any on,but I would say if you going to fit flaps fit only the correct ones which follow the contours properly.
:D
