Thanks Andy for the explanation. Does this extension really stop the crap from hitting the engine and lower frame, I guess not but it must help!
Each and every XT I have seen has the usual water/gravel blasted rust on the lower frame and after riding in rain has eventually caused me electrical problems, due to the water being thrown up and onto the frame and around the underside of the tank. BMW have a lower front mudguard on the GS and I managed to cobble one together on an early XT that did the job really well (cabled tied around the upper fork legs) but looked naff.
