Mines not been in too much wet yet so not had a problem, but i have a fenda extenda on anyway.
At lease it stops some of the crap being thrown up at the heads & plugs and so reduces corrosion.

Silicone sealant round the top of the plug cap has removed the problem completely on my bike.

Have not had to bop-bop about like a single lunger for about 3yr. Which is nice (especially for my neighbours.)

Home made crud flap integrated into the rad guard from one piece of ally perforated sheet. no fender extender and never had a problem, works a treat!
