I think I'd go for a shock guard if I rode just in good weather, but the bike gets ridden most days and consequently gets covered in crap. Still not too sure, never been a fan of either to be honest. I'll wait and have a look at others before making a decision.

cheers,
Ben

We all know what u do with rear shock gaurds Tim.........................lol....bit of a drastic measure to clean the back end up though...lol

Have got both fitted to my 748r.when just the hugger was fitted,the shock still got covered in crap,so fitted the shock guard and it stays a lot cleaner(had to trim the shock guard to fit)!Both will be removed in the summer anyway,they are only there for winter protection anyway!!

[Rattler]

It was a very expensive modification!!!

Got both off e-bay for £120 all in.not bad hugger was casoli moto,not sure where guard was from,but you can get bargains from e-bay if you're a bit clever(auction sniper).Got my 50mm Ti Termis off E-bay as well (£300),in mint cond,didn't know i'd won them,missus rang me at the match to say i had,so i had to come clean!!!

Hey Tim,

Do u want me to 'store' those nice wheels for u so they don't clutter your garage up, until u sell em!

[smilo006]

Bought a Casoli shock guard III. Put on and secured with locktite. The thing worked its way round during a track day and squared off the tyre nicely and then fell off.
The hugger protects the pipes, back of the engine and parts of the swing arm from rubber, general track crap and tar too.

Agree that it does change the definite looks of the rear end though.
Hugger.

..........I can bring the wheels with me today and I can lend you them if you lend me £800!!!

Perfect!!
