Realized about it soon ... also after reading many of the comments.
Have also plans to create a splash barrier in front of the engine to stop water from going on top of the valve cover / coils.

Now, when I was stationed in San Diego, I did ride in the rain. It was warm, and the roads were rain grooved concrete. And I was 35 years younger. :oops:

The extender should work fine with the OEM plastic blob around the oil filter and with a tall skid plate like MFP shows.

HOWEVER

Some of us have had the damned thing catch on a skid plate and it locks the steering up in a heart beat. Mine happened when the tire ran over a small bit of old tire debris.

The splash panel on my Ravetech bash plate presents a smooth surface to the fender extender, there’s no feature for it to catch on. Having said that, it’s tucked in well enough that there has evidently never been contact between the extender and the skid plate anyway. I can’t see any kind of evidence, witness mark or otherwise on either piece. And yes, I’ve inadvertently bottomed the fork a few times.
Between the splash shield and fender extender, I’ve never seen any sign of water in the plug wells. Though it doesn’t rain much in SoCal, I’ve been in some absolute frog stranglers in places like Colorado, Utah and Canada.
