Don't bother mate I took mine off and fitted hugger :cool:

shock guard looked untidy.

Don't bother with that...I took my hugger off and fitted a shock guard.

Hugger looked toooooo untidy:roll:

To be fair...I have seen some shock guards that look a bit of a state...but its the same with a hugger...there are different types out there so look around before deciding.

don't bother with either I had both and I hated both. Don't ride in the rain :D

sharpo 13-Feb-2005 18:11

I think i'm with ziggi on the rain thing.

Would it be a no no to cut the chain guard off the hugger and just fit that, or would somebody want to swap bearing in mind it's not mint, it's worn through where the dimple is and the previous owner ran with it loose so the mounting holes are a bit large.

After that description it sounds like a piece of junk.:lol:

What say you.:puzzled:

ziggi 13-Feb-2005 18:19

you'll need a chain guard to keep the hugger in place. Cut off the chain guard and the hugger will have nothing to bolt to.

I think a chain guard is an MOT requirement too.

The hugger stops more than just the rain. Stones and road debris in general can cause damage. I think Casoli do some of the better looking versions. Painted one too.

I've a pre preg carbon chain guard if your interested.

moto748 13-Feb-2005 20:23

I've got one of the "short" type carbon huggers (I believe it's a DP part), and, I have to say, it's pretty useless as a shock guard. The shock gets absolutely plastered in mud and muck at this time of year.

But then, that's winter riding for you. The original shock's still going strong, so I can hardly complain about its longevity.

sharpo 13-Feb-2005 22:28

ziggi I didn't mean fit the hugger on it's own, i'm not that thick mate:lol:

Whats pre preg carbon.

Do you mean to swap or buy ?

Sharpo
We need to speak
I ahve the damper you want and it seems you have the hugger I want?
PM me your number here or at throttlemonkeys and we can sort something I am sure.

RickyX 14-Feb-2005 13:44

Sharpo,

I have a Casoli type shock guard for sale - see my posting from last week.

If you're interested, send me a U2U/e-mail.

Pre-preg - carbon-fibre fabric that has resin impregnated during manufacture rather than "wet-lay-up" that needs the resin squeegy-ing into it during forming.
