Which one is a better choice in terms of installation and protection? Where is a good place to get them?
Thanks in advance,

Got mine from Dave miles at casoli £165 all in .... Great fit, nice and light, and superb quality.... Only down side is you will need to grind down a 4 mm allen key to get the fixing on the right hand side of the swinging arm.... Or take the wheel out.

Yep,I've got the Casoli hugger,agree with all that Dave said above.
Not much choice out there at the mo.Its really down to Casoli or DP.I hear that QB Carbon are making one.Hope it fits better than the one they made for the cast swingers.

Common as mate..... Good fit too !!

Dave,that hugger looks real close to the tyre.
I had to space mine off a bit as stones/road crap were damaging the rear tip of the hugger.

Not a bad fit for me, but really cheap from the factory shop.

You're forgetting JHP here, they sell them also, don't think they're DP though, great quality, perfect fit...
