well my new REPLACEMENT rear hugger arrived today,look's great,be even better when it's fitted to the bike,will have a go at fitting it tomorrow,any tip's on fitting a skidmarx rear hugger.
Dont rush it and take the exhaust off, it saves the swearing and grazed pinkies...
Have your 'Loctite' or similar handy as you only just about have a full nut on the shorter bolts xx
i have read the destruction's i mean instruction's(may aswell be in chinese) & i took a look at Rusty's rear hugger,whilst we were at the dealer's on tuesday for a service,he has the same as,i will take the endcan & linkpipe off,will have to pop to halford's for some loctite. :mfr_lol:
If it helps mate I can send you some Hugger pics in the morning .... ??
Never took exhaust off doing mine...all done in half an hour , no grazed knuckles.

thank's Rusty your a true gent,waiting for some bike related goodie's to arrive via mr postman,then off to halford's for some loctite,then let battle commence,cheer's for the pic's,they are more than usefull.
fitted the skidmarx hugger,the photo's did indeed come in handy,when it was all done & put back together there was a creaking sound,my mate was here & simply touched the bottom of the hugger & it stopped,let go & it was there again,there is clearance each side & top & bottom,i then moved it slightly & now seem's to be ok,anyone had this creaking sound after fitting one of these.
