Crud Catchers.

Not the prettiest accessory, but definitely effective.
This is a very good price.
I think the seller is the guy who actually makes them.
Most models catered for

That's a very good price compared to what they were being sold for a few years ago - it looks like a straight copy of the one Ive had on my ST for the past 5 years or so.....I can't remember the manufacturer's name that's etched onto it, but it was around £40. It does a good job of deflecting the high-speed debris that would otherwise batter that precious front cover, although muck does gather behind it.....2 min job to whip it off and get fettling though! I also put a GS bottom plate on my ST, the mounting points are already there.....just need some knobblies on and I'm ready for some green lane action!

I used one on an R1200C I used to own, but always at the back of my mind was a worry that it might inhibit cooling to the sump area.
I never had a problem though, and loads of people use them so they must be OK.

That did cross my mind too, but I figured that the oil's being continually pumped round via the cylinders, and theyre still out in the fresh air!

I have one on my RT LC, even with a wider extended mudguard I still hear stones pinging against the crud catcher proving its worth

Thanks for the heads up. Just bought one. Realistic price, I agree.
