Anti Splat Aero Product

The first incident where I had to dodge the Kangaroo's, was on 06 at Caboolture. That was the day after I fitted the brace and I hadn't fitted their leg fairing at that point. I checked the front leg and you could see where the brace had rubbed the powder coating. It wasn't gouged or anything, just a mark that you could see there had been contact.

Before going away on our recent trip the front leg fairing was removed for painting as removing the bottom cowl had chipped some paint from the front of it. The contact point of the top of the brace on the leg looked the same with the rub mark but the bottom had some powder coating chipped out of it, like it had been hit with a hammer. I've sanded the front of the leg back and touched it up with some pressure pack of the same colour so I can check it the next time the fairing is off.

The normal flexing of the front leg is forward, so the only way the the front leg could be marked, is impact on the front of the wheel which pushed the front leg back to achieve the contact. The brace has done it's job and arrested that travel. If the leg would have callapsed or not with out the brace is another thing??

...Glad to see the "Nose Job" is doing a good Job for you. We have seen and gotten reports back of fellows hitting a two dogs, a coyote, a sheep and various other small critters as well. Thankfully all of these incidents turned out well and major damages were averted. Thank you for the report and the vote of confidence. Allan...
