    Decided to go for an hrc Carbon hugger, bit pricey at £295 from Honda but after searching found one from a Honda place in Jersey. £242 delivered best I could get from Honda was a measly £280 at dobles.
    If it's good enough for an rc213 it'll do for mine, will look like below

    Also from a guy stateside I've got the part number for the original Honda combined sticker for the front fender. Which is a White repsol and multi coloured Hrc sticker all in one. Was thinking of buying one to go on the rear hugger to make it look factory.

    For anyone toying with same idea sticker part number is

    86611-MKB-E80ZA

    Not looked at prices in uk but sticker is $12 in U S of A
    Probably £35 here then. Now toying with an hrc Carbon front mudguard to match as in next pic. This fcuking modding malarkey is pricey

    Steve, in my opinion you have made the right choice going for the Honda carbon fibre hugger. I used to have the Repsol genuine hugger on my 2009 Repsol blade and even though I left it on, I always thought it was too much. Mate just my opinion but Repsol orange wheels don't suit rim stickers at all, leave them plain.

    I've got both, fr and rear Honda Racing Carbon fenders and not too far different from the Akrapovic Carbon parts either.

    My front has the 2015 Repsol HRC sticker on it which is a joined sticker.

    And was only £15 ish, or is that what I told her :)

    I think the repsol huggers look too much I'd go black or white with a repsol sticker tho if abs I think best without 1 anyway.

    It's a well known fact that Honda huggers will fit the abs models , it's only Honda covering their arses by saying they don't fit . Only reason being there is less clearance from the hugger to under seat abs unit , and u could if you tried hard enough bottom it out and break the hugger . That's if your a big bloke and possibly ride 2 up , putting even more weight on the bike and increasing the chance of bottoming it out . So if you ride solo and have the suspension set correctly chances are you'll be fine . In my experience the standard suspension setting for rear shock is way to soft anyway , me being 14 stone plus riding gear on top needed it turned up 3 clicks from standard. Never had a problem in 2 years , also if your fussy you may want to file a small half moon at the right hand side of hugger for the abs cable . Nowt of a job with a small needle file . All in all its at your own risk !
