2014/2015 rear hugger

[robbie]

Does anyone know if i can fit a powerbronze full size hugger intended for a 2014 crossrunner to my 2015

I would doubt that you can fit the 14 Hugger to a 15 bike as the design of the swingarm changed.

Many thanks for the info,looks like i'll have to keep searching for one that covers more of the tyre as the one from powerbronze does'nt cover much cheers.

Try  www.pandpbodyworks.co.uk
I got my hugger/chainguard from them. It covers more of the wheel/tyre.

It seems that all the huggers I've seen tend to be a bit on the short side. A friend of mine has Honda's own hugger fitted & he reckons it's not particularly effective. I am also in the market for a hugger & have taken Kenny's suggestion & contacted www.pandpbodyworks.co.uk to see what they can offer. It seems their website lists the 2011-2014 Crossrunner but not the later model. Will see what they say & report back. Thanks Kenny.

It prevents crap from being flung towards the rear shock which is about the most you really need. The underseat area is plastic-coated so easy to spray and wipe clean. I've had a Powerbronze on mine since before Xmas and ridden through the winter on it and it's done a good job.

That's not to say even more coverage would be better, it would, but the current one has enough coverage imo.

Just the negative side of a hugger...

On my previous bike, a Suzuki GSX650FK8, I had a combined hugger and chainguard.
I mounted the hugger @ 2600km , and had to replace the chain @ 13000km.
I'm driving the whole year, storm, rain, cold and warm weather , except when it's white.
2nd chain, did 23000km , 3rd did 26000km, 4th did even less only 8500km.
What caused this quick replacement of the chain ? sprockets waren't worn at all.
Just a lot of links got stuck.

It was the hugger !  I had a carbonfiber hugger, without anything to shield the chain from water when driving through the rain.  The chainlub was washed out , just like a big shower.

When I replaced the hugger , now a normal design chainguard in stainless steel, that chain is doing 34000km, and isn't replaced yet...all links can still move.
And my rear shock... even with hugger it was catching a lot of dirt and sand.
I don't think a hugger is the perfect solution for this small problem.
Because when it rains... the rear shock is getting sprayed continue, and stays relative clean.
Less muck than with a hugger.

   I like this emoticon ! 
Already over 4000km in 2 months...
