Hi,
Looking for a hugger to fit a K3
just curious as to what other years will fit ie will 99 onwards fit or was there differences in the swingarms.

cheers

Curvy (99-02) will not fit, different swing arm. The Pyramid Plastics hugger is mostly an excellent design, strong, rigid and provides some protection to the suspension linkages, but the swing arm bracket is pretty poor, so I made my own. Powerbronze hugger is less good IMO, a bit floppy and has a big gap at the back right behind the rear shock.

I have a carbon hugger from a K3 that I might be tempted to sell.

See post #2; Pyramid have a nice lower extension while power bronze don't. If you don't know the make, does it sound like the Pyramid plastics one.
