anyone got one?

are they any good?

I remember them getting good write-ups a couple of years back but I prefer first hand experiences.
What they like for quality, fit, finish etc.
They do one specifically for the tiger (triumph dont!) and after having the triumph one on my TT I think they help a lot in keeping the crap away from the rear shock.

Yep,

I have got the NWS Carbon Hugger fitted to mine. Excellent piece of kit. Fitted in about 15 mins flat, no cutting or bodging required. Looks really trick in carbon.
You can have a look in my photo album.

Thanks,from what I can see it looks decent.
does it still leave the shock adjusters free or does it obscure it?
Any pics showing it better?

I am hearing only good reports about them so looks like one could be added next month.

By fitting the hugger, it means that you have to use a 'stubby' screwdriver to adjust the rebound damper, instead of a normal length driver. A small price to pay for the crap that it keeps off the shock and wingarm linkages etc.

As i remember, they only do it in two types, gloss black fibreglass, or the grey carbon fibre.

I really cannot sing its praises enough, Ok so it was about £90, but it does look trick, it saves ages on cleaning and protection, and it was so easy to fit. All the holes lined up perfectly, no rough edges or blemishes.

M&P used to do them, they are not listed in some of the catalogues, but when you phone M&P, they have it listed there.

Hope this helps,

Jim

yes it does, thanks. I can order direct from NWS.
Every reply I have had on them indicates a good fit and finish regardless of bike so I guess next month I will be ordering one.

They now do black grp white grp carbon and "ghost" which is aluminium coated fibre and would look very nice with silver bikes/frames
