Any one fitted a Rear Hugger. Skid Marx do one for £79.99p . Had there fender extenders , headlight protectors & Screens before. Good products..
Just wondering what any one else has done.

fitted the hugger from skid marx good quality and dose a good job of keeping the shit off! you need to remove the exhaust to gain excess to the tourqe rod nut, but 5 min job! if you do fit a skidmarx hugger dont forget to locktight the nylon lock nuts on the tourqe rods nuts, they do not supply a slightly longer bolt, but they recommend you lock tight the original nut! have also fitted the fenda extender thats defo worth the money as well! easy fit just remove the front mudguard but that is a 5 min job as well! you may also want to consider a beowulf rad gaurd then there no chance of a stone slipping through! the fenda extender really is to help keeping the shit off! not fitted a head light protector yet but may do if some one can comment on them and show a pic of one fitted!
getting on now...  but not as old as Rog or Geoff

Ziderman

I'll take photo of head light guards for you. Held on by very strong stick on grip pads. Never let me down yet.

Lonewolf

The new plate will be 11.
