I'm curious what any of you have done to keep mud off of the engine, particularly the front of the head?
I went riding last week in a huge riding area, Royal Blue, north of Knoxville, TN. There was just a little bit of mud left around from rain a few days before. About half way through our full day ride, I noticed alot of mud had collected on the front of the head, surely limiting air flow. I'm thinking about making or buying some sort of guard that will keep mud off of the head and even the cylinder below but would also duct air from above, maybe using the nifty faux radiator scoops. Interfering with air flow to the head can be a mistake but if it is gonna get packed with mud anytime I ride thru some, I may as well address the issue and come up with a solution.
