Default Should I get a Hugger?

£75 for a new black hugger for my Blue K4
Good price?
Would it look good?
Would it increase resale value of my bike by more or less than £75?

Thanks for your thoughts

What make hugger is it ? £75 sounds a reasonable price.

Looks are a personal thing. IMHO a black one is going to look better than a blue one would on your bike.

It wont add any value to your bike. However it might make it easier to sell should a prospective owner want a hugger on their bike.

And if they don't - you have something to put on ebay.

You could buy a used one off ebay or someone on here for about £20.
I like to have one as it protects the rear shock better and reduces spray off the back wheel.It won't stop your bike getting dirty though.

It's Busters

Was browsing for something free post if I'm paying £5 for the disc lock

Thanks Dr Rich care to elaborate, could agree not worth it but didn't think anyone would actually not like one?

£20 seems a bit hopeful, but if you're offering, yes please.

Sorry, I shall. I simply just dont think they look very good. I much prefer the bare naked real wheel. Downside of that is you do get stone chips between the lights and there's more dirt on the shcok etc (but there is a flap). That red one in the pic really is just too much. Unfortunately I am fickle, shallow and impractical.

Perhaps it could increase the valuse by preserving things a little.

But I'm just giving personal opinion...which is worth absolutely nothing.

An aside. I 'had to choose not to frequent' another internet forum for daring to say I thought a hugger made by one of the 'boy's' was overpriced, looked crap and why on earth would anyone put a hugger on a 12GS anyway' . Which I stand by

Not nothing at all that's all I wanted

Agreed for the red one, hopefully Black would be less noticeable

Cheers

Although I had a huge rear hugger on my SV I prefer the smaller ones if going for one such as this...
