That really surprises me. I've laid the rig over on mine more times than I can count. Not so much as a dent in the body. I did knock a corner off the cross-hatch "screen" over the inlet, but that's it in nine years...

More like six inches, but yeah, I'd be plenty happy with cowl height. I guess the theory is that on a dusty trail, the higher you go, the cleaner air you get. Makes no difference to us, but I guess out west and overseas expedition-type wheeling, where they might cover hundreds of miles of dirt roads a day, it might help...
