Its sorta one of those things, the bike is very open to that kind of impact from the front tyre,,,some guys go an entire life time on a Triumph and it never happens and for some others it happens more than once

Ouch, sorry to hear that.

Triumph had an optional mudguard extender for the front and rear. It's a few quid, but worth the price. Installation is easy too.

Sorry to hear at that price an all,I was thinking of making or buying a wire mesh gaurd trouble is does it affect the cooling as I have found these bikes seem to run hot.
