Bloody hell Glenn! You've had it less than a week and look at the state of it already!

I think I'll have words with the MT about revoking your membership if you don't clean it sharpish! :lol:

Yep 180 miles of mainly wet roads there and back:(

Are you in over the weekend? I'll bring it round and drop off your fibre glass kit.

Will be in on sunday - should be quite a little DSC gathering as I'm having my spare Desmo Due bike delivered :D

I drilled a tiny hold in mine and popped a rivet through. Didnt like the idea of a nut and bolt, its awfully close to the chain and didnt fancy a nut shaking off in between the sprocket and chain.

Back in 2002 when I got my 999 there were no huggers available for months. ProTwins were one of the first to actually have one available. I bought it and fitted it, and, like yourself had the same problem. No amount of fiddling with the fit changed the situation. In the end I just took a sharp blade to the plastic original and trimmed it back to the contour of the swingarm. Looks fine, but not a perfect solution I agree.
You could always raise it with them...

Yes - emailed the picture this afternoon and spoke to Brett Norriss at ProTwins. He said that they sometimes heat the plastic guard with a hair dryer and then bend it nearer to the carbon profile. If that doesn't work they trim the plastic so it doesn't protrude. I will give it a go over the weekend.

One plus point for me was that he is very happy to service my Taz import:)
