Got some cash coming my way and it's just enough to get me a new screen and hugger. I've got a faired K1 (51 plate) in an unusual candy red colour (No idea what the colour is officially called)

Where is the best place to get a black screen and a colour matched hugger?

Red Fox for hugger? Please help.........

Are they easy to fit? Does the rear tyre have to come off to fit the hugger? How easy is it to put new screen in?

Cheers Garedio

Both items are very easy to fit mate.
Have a look round the site and decide which you like the best.

No - I couldn't find a good colour match :( .

The problem is with this colour is that a number of items I've seen manufactured by third party always tend to come out a little pinkish instead of the lovely candy antares red.

I went for the pyramid plastics carbon look hugger - easily fits by a couple of zip ties to the swinging arm brace and doesn't look to big like some huggers I've seen. Also uses the original chain guard.

I recently fitted Carbon Hugger from Skidmarx (picked it up at the Bike Show) and it was a p*ss easy job.

All the holes in the right place, replaces the original chainguard, came with a complete set of replacement bolts and washers too.

It does look a little 'long' over the wheel compared to some huggers I saw when shopping around - but having been out in a bit of crappy weather since it does seem to stop the side effect of crud simply ending up on your exhaust.

I'm pleased with the look, but I'll let you know if it's been a good buy after a summer's hammering the roads to see if it cracks!
