Hubber? I mean Hugger, Doh!


All the ones I've seen don't come down below the the SSSA to give the linkages some protection and are also pretty dam short at the the back so you would still get a ton of water/crap sprayed under the seat and all around the exposed area. WTF are they thinking when making this sort of product, it's not like they are cheap (£130 some of them). It's hardly rocket science now is it?

It crossed my mind if none are available to fit one from a Daytona, may have to tap some holes to bolt it to the SSA in the same manner as a Daytona.

Alas, it doesn't go below the SSSA and is quite short at the rear.

As you say, doesn't cover the lower linkage
I have seen one that does, but can't remember who made it.

That's the one I've got. It doesn't do very much.
Lovely clean bike Rob.

'fraid it doesn't always look like that.

I rode it home, fitted the hugger, then took the pics.

Pyramid appear to do one that goes below the SSSA. Can't tell how long it is though.

Be careful if fitting the the Pyramid one to a Sprint, it fouls the pannier brackets, the Skidmarx one is a lot tighter fit around the tyre, but alas doesn't cover the linkage.
(shouldn't be a problem though as Triumph seem to recall and replace the bolts every five minutes though )
