I saw that too. I left it alone. I’ve never had my cvt temp gauge go over 2 bars. That’s riding in 108 degrees in the dunes in the summertime givin it hell.
Yeah, same here. Was just scratching my head as to WHY. The only thing I can think of is to block a direct shot of water from going straight down the tube.🤷♂️
I believe he is referring to these covers.
Yes.. exactly. They’re covered for your intakes. Keeps all the mud and crap from ripping and collecting on them.I believe he is referring to these covers.
I bought my fender flares from AJ. Great guy, but he will talk your ear off when you call in to order.

Yeah... the issue I see is winter riding and mud. You get mud and water in them and they freeze... then you get a restricted air intake. If you tear up the covers you could have just bought the AJ’s. It makes it better when your washing the machine and just all around a better design than being so open to the elements. For me they’re well worth the $100
I’m in a desert area also. Not much snow or mud here. When you flip them around it’s near impossible to tear them. Not sure why they didn’t come that way from the factory. The protection from this simple mod is excellent. I usually throw some chamois over the intakes when washing. Works out well.
I flipped mine real early on to protect them from tree branch's. I agree, they should come this way from the factory. I know a lot of folks are afraid they will get sucked down the intakes. That just isn't going to ever happen.
I agree 100%. There’s not enough suction to pull them off. Maybe with a supercharger might be a different story. Even if they do get sucked in, the air filter will catch it.
Looks good.
