TTPual any luck yet.

As I rock the 2012, I will not bother looking yet. It takes a while for manufacturers to RandD on for the new bike. Unless anyone has encountered a good one?

I concur. I'd like to see some photos after the install as well. Is there any practical value to this or is it all asthetics?

Motorcycles are perfectly safe, as long as you don't fall off and you don't get hit by anything...

Son,
The only think a hugger does is look good. Some deflect some flak to the undercarriage, but really, just looks dude!
Wman...

I had one on a previous bike, I'll be honest it didn't even deflect flak, or crap. But it did look good!

Kofla, the hugger is not the same product carbon fibre, so unfortunately I can't assess fit. The person posting the pics, did say he had to dill into the hugger assembly for it to fit propoerly. This is my fear with the carbon hugger. If martin reports that all fits to spec, I will definately grab one.

Thanks for posting Kofla,,,
