ground clearance on the RT - be carefully

[chris56]

be careful when you drive at an angle to park on a sidewalk - the two black "Spoilers" on the side of the engine are a bit lower than the front of the RT - got a Little problem - but it was easy to repair - happend the first time after 17.000 mls . . maybe I should not always follow my friends with their BMWs ???

Yup ..... it happens

While I was ryding home from work (sans Teddy) in a torential downpour one day a couple of years back, I hit a pot hole full of water that was so deep, the entire left wheel bottomed out, causing the lower water diverter that your talking about to completely sheer off, leaving it laying on the side of the road. I saw it in the mirror and went back and thru it in the Frunk. Luckily, it was only about a $40 part to replace and no other harm was done. But these things do happen :sour: Glad yours was an easy fix as well and don't let it stop you :2thumbs:

Most BMW riders are lost so best to leave them that way and choose your own path.

if you have ella shocks your ground clearance increases and protects against such things as well

I put on the PitBull shock relocators on and it brought the front clearance up by 1 1/4" and I love it. You need to adjust the headlight height. I still have the stock shocks.

Looks like me in the picture too. Always following a white R1200GS everywhere we go on our blue RT.

It isn't so much that the diverters are lower, but they are between the wheels so can catch if the wheels hit a rut or hole, or if you are going over a hump.
