Rear Hugger

Hi all,
Just fitted a rear Hugger to my 2015 Crossrunner, and it's very close to the exhaust pipe, I ran the bike in the garage for a while and it seemed okay. Has anyone had any issues with heat damage on the Hugger from the exhaust?
This is the Hugger I bought:

Cheers

Fitted the Powerbronze hugger to my 15 Xrunner, no fitting issues and plenty of clearance. Who made your hugger?

Fitted the Honda one to my 2015 CR and no problems at all, a quick measure up and at its closest 4 inches (100mm).
When you're moving with airflow, suspension compressed, etc. I can't see how you would have a heat problem.
OK, just looked at the white version hugger on eBay and see now how you maybe concerned, as it goes way further than most huggers, right down protecting the lower suspension links.
Yes, I could see therefore, you may have a problem as the exhaust would be quite close, lower down.
Sorry for my earlier comment, I stand corrected!

Has someone deleted a post? White hugger?
Pic below is from your link in the OP and it comes nowhere near the pipe.
Do you have a pic of yours so we can see the issue?

Sorry Skids,
my mention of a "white" hugger was of a similar product by the same supplier, as fitted by jwmitch
The photos on eBay showed the hugger at different angles, hence I then could then see the potential heat problem he had queried, as his hugger followed the contours of the tyre further down and appears to come close to the exhaust pipe, below the swing arm. The Honda item I fitted screws on the top of the swing arm, nothing below.
Try this link (I'm hopeless at links) to see photos or go on his link and look for it in different colours:-

As you can see it's quite close!

Well that is too close, don't think it would be long before it melts, unless it's made of heat resistant space shuttle tiles!
eBay advert says GRP, in old money that was "glass reinforced plastic" I've seen Reliant Robins go up in flame made of GRP

I see now what you mean.
I fitted a Powerbronze and have no issues with it at all.

Just sent the picture to the supplier, and they said I could either cut a section out of the hugger for more clearance or return it for a refund, not sure what to do now

You paid a lot of money for something that isn't right, I would send it back for a refund as it is not fit for purpose.
