    Sorry, just a rant thread but sometimes I can't help myself.

    I always have a trawl through eBay and I can't help but think why the hell would some people buy some of the shite that's available as upgrade / after Market parts.

    I mean a classic example is the power bronze stuff, who the hell designed that rear seat cowl and thought - 'that's it, perfection, that'll sell like hot cakes' ???

    It's hideous, it's nothing like the rest of the bike and just looks like a couple of blocks of Lego........ I see they've even made a tail tidy that actually makes the rear look worse than when it started, who the hell is they're designer? Ok it's different to everything else but there's a good reason for that lads, and it's because your stuff is pants

    And don't get me started on the printed type wind Sheilds that have grim reapers on them.......


    It's ok..... I feel better now, apologies if you bought one, different tastes and all that :)

    Nothing against the power bronze stuff But when I'm at the NEC show every year I find walking past it's very much like walking into a Maccy D's on a Sat evening with Saxo's chavved up.

    If you get me

    Iv got to agree guys.

    I bought a rear hugger for my bike as it was the only 1 that fitted the ABS blade at the time & I can honestly say that it will b off asap. Already there is a crack in it where the bolts go through it. Just looking for 1 to replace it just now. Any ideas?

    The Honda hugger fits after using a small washer to lift it over the ABS lead. I have one fitted and after months and 4k it's fine and kept the crap off the back of the bike. And is bloody good quality
