    R & G Hugger anyone got?

    And does it fit ok with ABS to? So far one I like best look of and don't really want a hugger extender as Pyramid plastics do. This is £95 exc VAT for R & G one so want to make sure it fits well and more importantly does it make a difference to keeping the dirt off?

I have just ordered the abba fitting kit for superbike stand. Is it the case I wouldnt be able to...

    Adding Evotech crash bungs

    Getting these next week and rad cover once back in stock. I take it that its simply a case of removing one bolt at a time and one side loosely add one bolt to bracket then remove 2nd one and add bolt through bracket then do other side? Is engine likely to move any? have done it on many bikes...

    Re Rad covers/protection

    Strikes me mad there is no protection I saw on the MT-09 rad, would of thought there be a simple black plastic slitted cover, like I had on my 2001 hornet, I did swap that out for stainless one. Its pretty big on MT-09 to, did you all get one before riding to much or not bother? any major dings...
