I hit a pot hole doing about 70 mph and my tag hit the rear tire, ripping it off and pulling it between the tire and carbon hugger. Needless to say, I need a new carbon fiber hugger and a chain gaurd. Can anyone point me in the direction of a Carbon fiber hugger and a chain gaurd for less than ordering them from triumph?

Skip the hugger....it's fully cosmetic. Unless you dig the way it looks. Secondly, maybe adjust your suspension? I've hit potholes hard too....don't think you should be ripping your tag off.

Dam, sorry to hear about that damage bro. Carbon is expensive. The previous poster's suggestion is good.

I've been reading a lot obout this Carbon Fibre stuff, is it really that cool? And what's a hugger if I may ask?

here's what a hugger looks like...

and that's carbon fiber on his chest.

Carbon fiber is a nice touch.

A hugger is a peice of plastic that goes over a significant portion of your rear tire. Supposed to prevent stuff from spraying up under your azz and shock. Look for bike swith pix that show this RIGHT over the rear tire.

Ha ha ha ha, nice one cheapbastard, there I was thinking David Hasselhoff was the devil ha ha ha, you have proved me wrong. I'll be pissing myself all day thinking of that. Seriously though, that image will haunt me for ever.

I've fixed the shock problem by stiffining it, and yeah I just want the hugger because it looks good and I've got the special edition and it looks kinda naked without it.

Here she is the day before the pot hole.
