Re: Newbie signing in for duty
Managed to grab a few pics
Bike was bought like this, Givi rack and box to go on, double bubble on order, will make the commute a bit more smooth After commuting on a scoot for the last 12 years I'm finding my arms aching after a couple miles of riding and now my feet have to do things! All fun though as I'm enjoying it |

Bike needs a Fender extenda and a rear hugger apart from that looks rad.

Re: Newbie signing in for duty
I thought the extenders were for the curvy models and the wet plugs scenario, rear hugger good move
It’s an 07 |

Re: Newbie signing in for duty
You might find you have a small guard on top of the swingarm to protect the rear shock from most of the dirt. I was going to get a hugger but someone pointed out it wasn't very necessary for mine. Might be K8 onwards though. I'm not sure. Saving spending £100 on one was good though and got quite a few other bits like tank knee pads, front fender extender and mirror extender blocks instead.

Nah you got to have a hugger looks like doggy poo without one just my opinion.

Also the little belly pan looks good on the pointy.

Re: Newbie signing in for duty
I had a look and the back of the shock is boxed in so I’m guessing the front rubber piece near the rad is there as well (I didn’t look at the front) I’ve ordered a fender extended anyway
Also the underside of the bike is relativity clean considering it’s got well over 50k so I don’t think the hugger is needed in my case - thanks for the heads up Adam |
