Default Re: Rear Hugger with Standard Tail Yes/No

Sweet, I plan to spary my fenda exenda the same colour so it don't look out of place.

Just in case it gets lost in the messages,

The concern back to topic I am having is will the tail tidy cause the number plate to rub if I have some one on the back?

I've seen it happen with tail tidies, but only when the plate is mounted too far in and too vertical.

Shellywoozles pics are a good example. The angle of that plate means there's no way it's going to touch the tyre even at full compression of the suspension.

Can any one recommend a good tail tidy that point out wards so it clears the rear wheel when I have a fat pillion on.

I've just fitted a hugger to my K9. Obvs from pic you can see that I still have the shovel on the back. Question is will fitting a tail tidy cause issues when I put my throwover panniers on for touring in the summer?

Mr Endo, iv had recent problems with my tail tidy and undertray. iv gone over a few bumps by accident and its pulled the number plate off twice now, so im looking at other alternatives. DSC00253 - Cop1y.jpg

Im looking at getting a standard undertray and a different tail tidy, because the one that is on my bike looks great but the plate sits to far back and probably angled wrong.

Hugger is good but tail tidy is waste of money and will cover your pillion and luggage in road crap and mud.

If you on interesting lanes on a trip you don't want an inch of cowsh*t stuck to your tent do you!

Have to agree with Chris. However they do look a lot better than OEM, but wow does **** get thrown everywhere on a muddy road.
