R1200GS Hugger???
Has anyone fitted a hugger to a R1200GS, and is it worthwhile, or is it a liability?
I've just bought a 1200GS and IMO It's a bit of a design fault how poorly the rear of the bike is protected from rear wheel crap, especially how the battery is in direct line of sight with the rear wheel. Barking!!!!
There's a very limited choice of huggers available, and the only one I've found that appears to cover enough of the wheel to be worthwhile is the Ilmberger Carbon Fibre one with the rubber splash protector marketed by Wunderlich. Trouble is it better be good for £180! Personally I couldn't give a monkeys whether it's carbon or not, cheaper the better methinks!
What are you thoughts? Are there any viable alternatives or is it not worth worrying about in reality?
