crud catcher

Post by shinyface »

I have a RT1200 LE WC 2015, does anyone know if there is enough clearance behind the front wheel to fit a avant fender extender and a Mark Hooton crud catcher ?  The quality is first class and it would stop the shotblasting of the engine casing.

ta in advance  be

I knew I'd seen a picture somewhere, thanks to Mr Pope.

Just remember behind the front engine cover is a multi plate wet clutch. Covering that up means a much reduced air flow so  much less cooling. .  I reckon a fender extender is a safer bet.

7000+ miles so far with the Crud catcher fitted. 2000 miles of that in France last year at 28c.


No problems at all so far with my RT's clutch.

Added the Fenda Extenda this weekend. 


Not gone for the Crud Catcher yet - will see what difference the FE makes first...
