Rear hugger fitted this evening, thank you Mr Bats, Looks mint on the bike IMO. Should help keeping the crap off the back a little too.
I've now got the same Gary. I had a power bronze 1 on but changed it to the standard hugger as it's a lot neater and keep the rear minimal looking.
I agree ColinBR it Looks loads better than some after Market products I have seen, I nearly went down the carbon route, but never one to look a gift horse in the mouth. The price included fitting too
Happy days, you will have fun cleaning the plastics under the seat, have two huggers one for summer, one for the other lovely seasons
Nice 1. I just seen the other post on Bats's thread. He sounds a bit like myself. Loves tinkering with bikes even if they're not his.
He does, but I always try to pull my weight, I have always had the opinion them that can, do etc, but TBH he has spent a fair bit of time on our previous garage nights just looking over my shoulder whilst I myself twirl the spanners, the satisfaction I get, doing the jobs myself is immense, especially knowing everything I do is being carefully watched gives the reassurance that Im doing it right, sound stupid really I crap my pants working on a £12000 blade but I show little or no emotion working on a £200 million light rail project. Mind, it's my Blade ain't it
How come it didn't come with one mate ? Do the ABS models not have them fitted or did your Dealer forget to put it on ?
Not fitted as standard to my knowledge Dan. Comes as an extra with the sports pack I believe. But I didn't need that seeing as I've got the fastest colour scheme already. LOL Awaits abuse from Repsol and HRC owners
The ABS models don't come with 1 mate as there is a small bracket for the abs cable that bolts into 1 of the holes, on the swingarm that the hugger would use. Easy fix though. Add a washer n all done
I genuinely do prefer the standard huggers to anything else I have seen! Did you have no hugger before or an aftermarket one?
Ah rite .. i found the standard 1 pants in the wet . Bike was getting stinking so i sourced a race hugger just to keep the tail cleaner . I try and keep her on dry roads only now so i may go back to the small standard hugger as it does look rather tasty
The only other 1 I fancy is the Tyga carbon fibre 1 as its the same size n shape. And at that you can get the front to suit. I had this on my gixxer and the quality was spot on.
A up chaps!! right here ya go abs model has no hugger just a trim plate! the reason it may foul on undertray!! Now belive me they all fit it and wotk na probs!! honda safety and all that O and the standard one for me all the way having a big hugger makes the bike look shit end of!!!!
From now on gazza all mods are done by you and check pointed in right direction by me Shoker needle rollers greased been next on list
All mods You fitted the hugger tonight. All I did was pull the ring on the beer can It was good to see you mate. It looks mint on don't it
I got the honda HRC hugger thrown in with the bike but it looks to big in the back end so I sold it and fitted the std one again really looks a lot better Looks spot on Garyb
Did mine a short time ago, can you let me know if the link plates have been rubbing like mine, they are going to changed under warranty when it is serviced
