    Hi Folks-

    Those of you who have a 2019, 2020 or now 2021 Scrambler 1200 XE or XC probably understand if you have the high front fender option the lower hugger does not stop debris, including mud and road crap from easily clogging the bottom half of the radiator and causing the bike to overheat.

    This is a serious issue that should be resolved by Triumph but as of this writing I am not aware of a factory fix.

    I purchased a small truck mud flap off of amazon for about $15 and cut / affixed my own fender extension. I have not tried it in the mud yet but I am pretty confident it should work well. What say you ?

    A guy on youtube added some gaskets to create some space which seemed to work well for him. No flap necessary. But definitely a creative solution.
