Huggers??

Post by Masu »

Greeting all from Japan!

What huggers do you guys have fitted? which would you recommend?

A buddy got a Pyramid hugger in and it was sure nicely finished, but it fit like total crap!

Here you can see the bike from the rear, the hugger's chain guard is not even close. Now I understand that we were supposed to leave the stock chain guard on, but they forgot to include the longer bolts needed to do this.

I don't know, the finish is sure nice on this unit, but it fits like crap, IMHO.

Anyone have any other hugger choices?

Cheers!

PS you can go here....

Hey Steve, thanks, I'm not sure what Skidmarx is....

A hugger maker or a seller of bike bits?

Got any pics?

Cheers!

sorry not got any pic's, does fit very well though! i'm an engineer and can tell what's good and what isn't! Your's really isn't! skidmarx make bodywork of all sorts, go to http://www.skidmarx.co.uk for more info. i've got one of there double bubble screens too, there very good. word of advice, try to stay away from powerbronze stuff, i've found that doesn't fit very well either!

i made the mistake of buying one from the BMF in May......was in a bag all labelled up vtr.......is a carbon one, & only paid £25.00 . looks nice, but got it home, and it didnt fit properly, ended up having to "fashion" it to fit,

looks nice now, but had to carefully cut the chain guard off and fit it to to the standard one......real pain in the arass.

would have been easier to buy one from NWS which fitted straight away, but hey, you live & learn.....

Just bought an Ermax hugger from MPS.Should have been £95.00 they did it for £72.00.Very well made and looks like it will fit ok.I agree with Steve.I fitted a Powerbronze Double Bubble screen and it didn't fit without a fight-its not rocket science is it?Cheers JT
