Mudcrawler, it looks like it does from your pic, correct? Then you notice the difference in operating oil temperature? Also, what pipe you've got? Is it a single can? I personally like yours, because it's short and it looks very Mad-Max to me :) They come in white?

Nope, it doesn't block the radiator. Mine has ventilation holes at the back. I don't notice anything on the temperature.

This is the Off-the-road high fender. Just delivered and mounted today.

But I will threw away the towing/recovery eyelet...
Something with "BAD Karma"...

Greetz!

Well, the eyelet can also be used for secure your bike when transported on a trailer or on a ferry, so I'll let it be.
The fender looks good, the best so far. No interfering with the radiator and its flow?
The waterpump protector also looks fine, not as massive as a heavy engine guard; might consider that item too, thanx for the pix!
Greetz, Hans.

I haven't problems with the radiator, yet...
Maybe during travelling on some really muddy tracks? Maybe then the radiator will become stucked by mud...?? I hope not... W'll see.
And I will place a metal radiator guard (oredered Metal Mule), when switching to the TKC 80's. Because I believe, these tyres will be a much bigger stone thrower then the Tourances.

TKC 80 :violence: radiator

One negative point about the OTR fender...; the color isn't exactly the same white.

And I really relie on the standard protection. Only the pump seemed to need a little protection. :066:

Just a thought, I would like to see a straight, narrow, sharp, triangle shape high fender that extends directly from the bottom of the white front below the headlight, kind of like the KTM 690 SM R http://www.ktm.at/690-Supermoto-R.100197.1.html. At least, it won't be blocking the radiator.

Molgan, I recall you have a talent on photoshop, you reckon you have sometime to play around this one? :)

Oh, a challenge? :D Yes I could give it a go (as soon as I get my CS3 back in shape grr..).

Yes it covers a bit of the radiator but not more than any high fender. I don�t notice any difference. If so you can drill holes in the back like the SM racers does. It�s a LeoVince double Can, standard kit for Tener�. It�s a standard UFU sm fender, surely available in White. // MC

Really like the high fender, but dont like the lack of protection to the rear, all that mud coating the radiator, one stone chucked up there...

Does anyone have a longer sharper back to the fender, kind of like the XT660X where its high at the front but has a sort of hugger at the back, only make it slightly higher, and then possibly black with a white front.

Definitely on my list of needs, but colour coded
