Has anyone bought a red fox hugger?

I have tried to. used their on line order system (not the best). That was a fortnight ago. They do not seem to respond to emails and their phone is never answered. and I ain't got the hugger yet.

I await my bank statement to see if they have actually taken the money.

Yep, I've got one.

Seem to remember mine took a while to arrive. Something like made/painted to order. Little or no communication from them but it did arrive at around the time they said it would when I ordered it.

If they have not changed the mould yet you will be best to put a drain hole in it (you can figure out where quiet easily).

BTW mine was for the 'classic' SV

never had one... but i have spoken to the manager before.... and i would say that they are a great company... and apparently one of the best huggers on the market...

Finally got through to them on the phone today. They are out of stock and recon at least a month. Ouch I hope it will be worth the wait

I've got one too, but I bought the bike with it already fitted, so no clue as to what the order process is like - nice bit of kit though, by all accounts....

I bought one form then and the service was fine. I think you will be pleased with your purchase.

I brought one from RedFox. They are a small company based in Ashover, Derbyshire (next village to where I'm from, no relation etc etc).

They were a little slow getting back to me. I suspect that it's a small company but the quality was high. Very pleased with the quality and the fit.

What is there web site address. I need a hugger....well don't need one, just want one!
I want to get one in the candy red (K1 51 plate) but no one seems to do the colour. What does black look like on a coloured bike? or Carbon fibre look? Any ideas or help would be most useful... Cheers

Got to agree with the others. I recon they are tops. Mike is a carbon fibre look (looks nothing like real carbon fibre but is very pleasant), quality and fit is great.
