Which hugger ?

[2112]

I need a rear hugger for my 2013 S10, which is the best ? Your esteemed opinions sought.

I have looked a Pyramid and it's an easy option - is anything better ?

If there is let me know too! Been holding off buying one till I know for sure. Best for me as I can see is the Pyramid pre painted viper blue to match me bike. Need to affirm when they says its matched it has the 'flake paint'? Others I know of are by Powerbronze and Hld... Seen the Powerbronze in the flesh n its looks a wee bit el cheapo to me...

I'm using the one from this thread with over 2 years and find it quite satisfactory and much cheaper than any of the others.

I have a Skidmarx hugger on my S10. They're made in either GRP or Carbon fibre and seem to provide good coverage of the back wheel, which keeps a lot of crud off back end of the bike. I have a GRP hugger, which seems well made and was a doddle to fit too. ::008::

I had a Pyramid on my Versys and it was poorly made. They wanted almost as much as I paid to return it. I installed it only lasted a few months on the bike. No more Pyramid for me!

My powerbronze has been holding up ok so far ( 10,000miles).

I am very happy with the Skidmarx, not cheap and takes a while to get one, but they are very high quality and mount up nicer than any of the others IMO.

I have to say the Skidmarx item looks like it will keep the most poop off the bike, gret pic's tooo Mikey ::008::

Been using the Pyramid (black) for 40,000 miles (2 1/2 years) with no problems. Keeps the Tenere and rider dry.

I have the pyramid on mine. I don't think it makes much of a difference with/without as far as dirt goes. I wouldn't bother with one next time.

Pyramid on mine as well. It's a good solid fit

Cheers for the replies folks, I'll let you know when I pull the pin on one. I now have to find the source of the leak in my utility room, aaargh !

Pyramid hugger, but be aware that if you are using it with an Akrapovic can, you need to email them and they will send you a small spacer for the exhaust canister.

I had that combo on my 2012 and didn't know that I needed a spacer. No problem that I could see.

How I'd the pyramid hugger attached on the left side? Can someone provide avpic?
