    Welcome on board bud :)

    Tasty bits?

    Well for your yoshi you won't go far wrong will biohazard (tom) from the USA , he sorted me out a treat and if you google him and ask him to 'help' with customs charges he will do his best.

    Regarding huggers I'm not sure on the abs model, I know the oem Honda racing huggers are bloody pricey and also bloody huge. Best to search on the abs model as they're definitely a funny fit regarding a few bits n bobs, Gilles rearsets work on abs for example but a load don't so there's definitely some figment issues at the rear of the bike.

    Power commander, well as far as I'm aware any pc3 from 2008 onwards will work(although check for an abs model just in case), best to get an O2 eliminator as well with them which should be a UK standard (US models don't come with them and UK dynojet get funny about supplying them for US stock)

    Pc3 or pcv is fine, pcv is just smaller and can technically be mapped 'slightly' better but there's not a lot in it, 1000's of people have used pc3's over the years so no need to worrie about having the latest n greatest.

    Good luck on the hunt

    Welcome Fella.
    Good choice of bike, shame about the colour but never mind. Yes you can fit the honda OEM hugger, dealers will tell you otherwise, My local dealer fitted mine with no trouble they just have to move the abs cable as per photo. hope this helps

    ABS moved for hugger forum.JPG

    Forgot to add to the above reply.....

    A Thank you to all the other well wishers.......
    Freedom of choice for the hugger photo..... what type of can have you fitted ? GPR maybe
    HRC Trev 09 where did you get your hugger from and also who done the Venture shield paint protection?
    Ieathaggis do braided lines make that much of a differance?

    Never new some colours were faster than others :confused: Lol

    Cheers
    Eddie

    Hi Eddie
    To answer your question, the OE plastic or carbon both fit if the abs cable is moved like in the photo. I would get the dealer to do if possible as any comeback or problems with the abs are with the dealer etc. Can is a carbon Akro which looks and sounds sweet. Looks even better with a Veo Vince carbon shield fitted. Hope this helps mate.
