Longer fender skirt?
Cant seem to find anyone that makes a longer front fender skirt.
With the oil cooler now on the 14's I find if you travel any dirt at all it plugs up the fins. Now and then it cant be helped and I got to think it is also a target for stones and other road debris.
Would like to find something like what's on there just a couple inches longer. Rivoting on a piece of black rubber seems a little hard to do on a $26K bike but it 'will' work just the same. Thoughts?

I had the same cooler on my '11 Road Glide Ultra.
30,000 miles, and no issues with the oil cooler, and the FLTRU did not even have a fender skirt.
I wouldn't worry about it, partner....
Now to put something chrome on, to replace the fakinugly tin foil black striped thing they've put on for years... yeah, I want one.

Then when you think about all that you just know a rock winging off that tire 12" away @ 70 MPH could very well knock a hole in it, then guess what? Oil goes bye bye and next thing you know you got a seized motor maybe in the middle of nowhere.
I will come up with something to prevent or at least make an effort against it happening.

Not sure where you ride that you have a real problem with mud etc clogging up your cooler. I can say I've never had an issue with that and if it's raining out while you're riding, it will pretty much clean itself out. Some have found out the hard way that the older fender skirts don't bolt up to the new fenders.
