Rear Huggers - what's the point of them?
Apart from looking cool....why would I want one?
I'm guessing it's for protection against loose chippings. I can't think of any performance/aerodynamic considerations. |

Alledgedly, they do offer some sort of aerodynamic help, but thats only what Ive heard. Ive had more trouble with mine than it was worth, so I took it off. Took me bloody ages to get it painted too! Oh well....

Mine keeps the carp off the rear shock, and as a side effect I think it looks better (specially black bike + black hugger).
Got mine from NWS, a bit expensive but quality piece of kit. |

Aerodynamics me ****.
The SV650 is about as aerodynamic as a wheelbarrow full of hedge clippings. With or without said hugger. Real answer: It looks one louder. It also keeps bits cleaner. Which is nice. I would imagine though, that if it had no effect on cleanliness whatsoever, they would still be all over the shop. |

Mostly to keep the crap off the underside of the bike.... you notice the difference after cleaning your bike without a hugger.. and then putting one on.... tad less to clean..... Im a lucky bugger.. my Kwak comes with one as standard
