    Hi guys.

    Just a question for you.
    Did the 2012/13 bikes come with a small hugger fitted as standard?
    I've seen a lot of them in pics here and was just wondering why my Thai/Japanese spec bike didn't come with one.

    As shown in these pics.

    Still swapped it out for an HRC one though!

    My ABS one did as well. And I replaced it with a repsol larger one.

    Mmmm funny that!! I am 100% positive that all the ABS fireblades I have seen do not have the small OEM (useless) hugger that is fitted to the non-abs as standard

    My bike had one although they are about as much use as a sponge leg in a flood !

    Surprised that Honda went to the trouble of a special spec for Lincolnshire

    Live and learn every day I guess. :D

    You can add me to the list if you want, my 12 and 14 ABS did not have a hugger, they come with a little lump of plastic.

    I put an R&G one on the 12 bike, but could not remove it due to the rubbish allen screws they supplied!

    Mine didn't come with one either - just a little piece of plastic trim.

    Thats that cleared up then.
    Which leads me onto my next question...
    I'm running a 200 rear tyre, would this give me any clearance problems with a (King Carbon) hugger?
    Also any advice on suspension adjustments to stop the ABS unit smashing the hugger?
