Fitted my powerbronze hugger and it doesn't seem to be sitting flush on the left hand side with the swingarm. Powerbronze have offered my a refund but just wanted to check on here first if all their huggers are like this or just the one I've purchased.
Sadly I took mine off after a very short period of ownership because I was bitterly disappointed with the fit. Not only that, it didn't really 'hug' the back tyre and it seemed stuck up too far.... Put the standard titchy one back on...
Yeah just been having another look at it & trying to convince myself it's ok but think I'm just kidding myself!!! The whole point in a hugger is to keep all the road crud away from the rear of your bike & I don't think this will be up to the job!! Off with it tomorrow I think
Forgot to mention that I had a pb hugger on my last bike R1 and it was a perfect fit but quite disappointed with this one tho!

Send it back and put the money towards the king carbon hugger. You will not be disappointed. Yes it's a bit more money but it's worth it.
rear hugger with larger coverage and rad guard were the first two mods I made on my bike. I bought PB hugger (at a bike show from their stand) but was disappointed. There was a flaw in the design! the two mounting screw holes did not line up with the positions on the frame (only about 1mm offset) so rather than messing around, I returned it for refund. I expected a company like them to have got it spot on. The R&G guard on the other hand fitted like a glove
Agree... For me it looks so aftermarket, and not brilliant at that.... I've bought other stuff from pb and been happy with it, but they really haven't got the hugger for the blade right...
Hugger off and in the post today, will order king carbon tomorrow or if anyone has any others they can recommend
I have a PB ABS plastic one on my 2015 - I can't say I am so happy either. I have a version that is suited to a bike with ABS and it does not fit closely near the back of the swing arm. I was actually thinking I might fix it partially by installing a little rubber sheet there with some rivets. I do admit it does keep the undertail cleaner as advertised. Here is a shot of it.... and the other side... Here is a link to the album of pictures... https://goo.gl/photos/tmH7TWjwEJDadadj6 I found it hard to find many huggers suited specifically for the ABS version of the bike and many people selling them have no idea what the difference is. I will give PB credit for at least addressing the issue with a separate product. The Honda ABS unit projects down so much that it makes designing a decent hugger difficult I think. Hope this helps and if anyone has a cool hugger that fits an ABS model please send a picture ASAP. Thanks
I need a hugger for my 2012 blade but there`s very few that are jumping out at me to buy. i don`t wish for it to look massively out of place if you know what i mean, PB just dose`nt look right for me personaly with that mesh and points out too far but i guess if it keeps the crud away from the underneath of the bike then its doing its job. Genuine Honda one is the boy to buy i suppose unless any other ones are out there that people have got???
Ive got the profiber gp one. Fitting it so that it looks right is a bit of a pain (or maybes mine was slightly faulty?) but its a nice shape and suits the bike well imo.
http://www.pro-fiber.com/shop/product/1123/ Out of stock atm. Maybes worth an email asking when they will be avaliable. Pics of it fitted to my bike in 2012 pics thread.
