After reading several threads with regards to huggers for the 05 S3, and getting so bored of waiting for the Triumph one to be released, I decided to order one from Fabproducts.co.uk. It is described as having a black polished finished, this turned out be of really poor quality, it looked more brown than black. After fitting it, it looked pretty good.....until I rode with it on for the first time. There is a bolt that attaches the fibre glass hugger to the metal frame, that protrudes on the underside, and catches on the tire. I thought that simply modifying it (bending it away from the tire) would do the job until I had time to grind the bolt down. I didn't account for potholes and divots in the road causing the hugger to vibrate and bounce enough to make the bolt hit the tire whilst riding!!!! A scarey sight when I stop and check it out. My tire got torn to bits, and I may have to replace it. Needles to say, the hugger has come off, and is going straight in the trash.
I am also going to send an email to the company, to let them know of this design floor. I just thought I would warn you all, in case you too got bored of waiting for Triumph to release theirs.
