Does anyone know if they are the same. I've fitted a 2012 rear shock to my 2008 blade and I've tried to order a hugger .but my sack of shit local dealer are telling me the bolt holes are different. I'm under the impression from previous posts they are the same. Can anyone shed some light on this for me.
I dont think the bolt holes are different , but the huggers definitely are. They foul on the newer shocks. See here - https://www.1000rr.co.uk/threads/hugger-not-fitting-after-upgrading-to-a-2012-shock.36748/
