Dav3y Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 So,Having purchased a REAR hugger for the Z1000sx, on close inspection prior to fitting it appeared to have hairline cracks in the lacquer so I returned it. It was of fibreglass construction which I guess makes this kind of damage more likely. It was also a combined mudguard and chain guard not that I'm bothered either way if the replacement is.Have got my refund this morning and now looking at a plastic hugger by Powerbronze. Anyone have any thoughts on these or some other make that May be available ?Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dav3y Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Plastic is so shiney though.Wondering if I have the patience to hold off until motorcycle live. Not sure if I like the carbon look as it wouldn't match ahything else on the bike. Might be best if I see some in the flesh first. The powerbronze hugger has either a silver or gold mesh on it, I guess that will make cleaning more tricky Decisions decisions.Edit:-It seems I can get a hugger extender to go with the OEM mudguard. Might go down this route. After all, it's more about less crap being thrown up on the underside of the bike than what it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
