    Hi all ...
    Took the "Beastie" out for its ride around the Salisbury Plain today. Needless to say she got christened by the time we got home. She was a real dirty bi-atch ...
    What a bugger to clean ...

    My question ...

    Has anyone fitted the Puig rear hugger, or in fact any hugger.

    Hi Again. I would look up power bronze. I have a proper full carbon one from them. Sits close to the tyre to stop all the shite. I know my bike is different but am sure they do one for yours

    Awesome service. When I ordered it through Amazon, I was expecting it to arrive on the 4th April from Germany.
    It came this last Monday.
    Being working, today was my first day off. It's now fitted with a slight readjustment of the rear brake line needed.

    I've just fitted the Powerbronze matt black one. £99 quid from their website, free delivery . just use discount code UKFORUM1. Took about 30 mins to fit. hopefully photo attached.

    Well ... Back in May when I was working on my mate bike, I looked over at the Tiger and noticed that the rear hugger forward support arm had snapped. :eek:
    The hugger had been on just over a month and I'd ridden her 4 times.
    Needless to say I was a tad pi**ed. Especially as i was a few weeks away from my Europe tour.
    Upon removing the hugger I noticed that it had also worn a groove into the top of the torque arm.
    After a lengthy communication with the supplier in Germany, I sent it back the week before I was going on my bike tour to Dubrovnik. All praise to them, the full refund was in my bank within 2 weeks.
    I have now resigned myself to clean the bike more. Oh hardship !!! :)

    The bike preformed perfectly for the 3518 miles of the trip. Well .. Apart from the fuel gauge/sender having a silly few minutes, telling me I didn't have any fuel after a coffee stop this side of the Timmelsjoch pass.
