Ducati, the add on protection will covers the oil cooler and intercooler I think. As you say it has quite a good sump protector already.
I don't have one of those fancy intercooler things 
Seriously--my last offroad trek I left the front finish panel on to keep the grass off the rad. A recovery would become more of a PITA, of course, but I was counting on the guy behind me if need be (and to let me have another go at the obstacle) It looks like this protector would be good for keeping off the debris.

I will have the sump guard with me (not fitted though) on Sunday at the LRO show if anyone want's a look. There will probably be few more available if anyone's interested, a very limited amount though

Actually would want one of these after thinking about it. Saves taking off the plastic trim everytime.
But am guessing it would hamper the dealer when servicing ?

Still need to get at the tow eye on the front. Don't think it bothers the dealer, computer dosen't work there.
