Default Hugger

I would like a new hugger for my bike, one that will protect the rear shock a bit more from crap.

Whats the best ones to go for? Are the ones with the chain gaurds alright?

Red Fox Matt.

Cheapish, good quality and fit. And they don't do them in yellow!

FYI NWS bike body work business was bought by Pyramid Plastics, who continue to manufacture and market the NWS body stuff. Just in case anyone says NWS no longer trading, you need to contact Pyramid Plastics. (I know all this cos I bought an NWS hugger from the Pyramid guys at the NEC...)

I'm after a hugger for my black pointy...can't decide so it's between these (the NWS ones are a bit too pricey). I like the look of the Red Fox and Pyramid, but the Pyramid looks like it might give just a little more protection as it looks to go further over the rear than the Red Fox.

Any thoughts?

I would say Pyramid Plastics as they extend below the swingarm, protection for the linkages, and they come the best colour matched along with OEM.

that hugger you've got Dave is really sexy. Shame they don't make it for Pointies. The ones for pointies look crap!
