Only had a pyramid hugger but no complaints. Good fit and good qaulity. I needed a fitting bracket as mine was second hand, pyramid plastics customer service was first class for this too.

how much did you pay for the new bracket? i had an issue with mine so went at it with a drill without thinking and now it's going rusty.

i recently bought a genuine suzuki one. one thing is there's only about a 1cm gap between it and the wheel which i was a bit dubious about at first but no issues so alls gd. did cost me a lot, cant remember how much... :/ but it is genuine and colour matched so that'd be why! really easy to fit and look the dogs...

I have an OEM one. I was also a but dubious about the minimal gap between the hugger and tyre but seems ok. I paid £90 for it from a member on here. It's quite a lot but it is a genuine item and the colour match is perfect so can't complain too much.

The Pyramid Plastics hugger itself is very good, nice and rigid and even provides some protection to the suspension linkages thanks to the large "tongue" that goes down past the swingarm. The bracket they supply for the right hand mounting is less great, yet to see one that hasn't gone very rusty.
