Can anyone tell me what these are like as suppliers / manufacturers. They go out through Hein Gerike so I would have thought they would be ok but I'd prefer feedback from people who've actually used their screens, huggers etc before I put hand to wallet.

i've got a Skidmarz carbon hugger on mine. It fits well and comes up well when I get round to cleaning it. Think I brought it direct from them for about £120 ish.
Skidmakz huggers usually come quite a way round the wheel (past 12 o'clock) and comes down below the swingarm. The bolts on the brakeline mounts are a little fiddley and you need to stick on a rubber pad ( supplied) to stop it rubbing the swingarm. Good quality product.

I had a carbon fibre hugger on my curvy SVs - bought at the NEC one year, perfect fit.

Through work I've had to deal with them as a supplier - they're not too bad. I say that because they are fine and dandy with stuff they have in stock - but if they have to make it up or need to put you on a back-order list it can take a while and a couple of phone calls to nudge them along a bit. ;)

But the quality is sound enough for the price. Not really cheap, lightweight and nasty, but not totally top-notch on some awkward bits (like the carbon fairing infills I got for the BlueBlade - resin's a bit thick in places and the fit under one bolt is a bit tight).
