Rear hugger recommendations?

    I'm after a rear hugger for a 2002 Suzuki GSX750F. It's not got to be
    anything special, it's for street-crud rather than street-cred.

    So far my searches have found www.powerbronze.co.uk in Little Hampton
    as the only company with anything for my model. They've got some in
    black for 55 quids. Anyone bought a hugger from them before? If so,
    what are they like?

    Are there any recommendations for other places I could try?

    I would have thought that a cut down bin lid would suit the ,ahem, styling
    better.

    If you insist on buying a proper hugger than check that it comes pre-drilled
    with mounting holes.

    Plan B is to get the Outlaw to knit a carbon lookie-likey.
    As I barely know which end of a screwdriver to hold, this is a *must*.
    Powerbronze claim that theirs does.

    I've got a Powerbronze hugger on my 9R, it does the job and looks OK. I
    didn't like the overcomplicated bracketry that held it on, so I cut it
    down. That hasn't affected its stability or effectiveness.

    Fitted quite a bit of Powerbronze products back in the days of The Workshop.

    Never had any problems, if anything they can be a little over engineered.

    £55 is a reasonable price. M&P are quoting £65 for the same product,
    retail.

    I bought a 2nd off these guys and couldn't find what was wrong with it.

    Alas, they don't do one for a GSX*F*. And TBH, for the price they
    quote (40-80) I'm more inclined to go with a new one for 55.

    Cheers both.

    I'll probably go with the Powerbronze option as others recommended
    don't do huggers for my bike.

    Cheers all.

    I got my BMW one from pyramid plastics (www.pyramid-plastics.co.uk).

    They don't list everything they do so it's worth dropping them an email.
    They do actually get back to you too.

    NWS have an excellent reputation, especially for their fit. Their web
    page does say that the seconds might not fit so easily.

    Personally, I'd go for a non-second from NWS.
