Default Which hugger?

Sorry to create a thread here to direct you to the Hugger thread in the bodywork section, but it seems like this thread gets more views and I'm after the valued opinion of the esteemed .orgers on which hugger to go for...http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.p...26#post1665126

Thanks in advance for your help!

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.

Have you got a Pointy or a Curvy SV?

K8 (as per sig )

Zip ties though?! I think I remember a thread you did about this, are they optional or required?

Thanks in advance!

Required. That's the only way to install them. I have the same fitted and personally think they are great.

Oop's... still the same, either Pyramid or OEM (K8's do not require zip-ties).

I got genuine Suzuki before mine rolled out the shop.
Powerbronze were doing stock take, Pyramid never got back in time to say which version on a K7.
So shop got me a genuine for cost price £120.
One Happy Bunny.
