Rear hugger colour choice

Post by D6Nutz »

So the joys of the Chinese fairing kit has started..

The mount points on the hugger have given up and I've had to take it off. I've just won a replacement on eBay.

Now the question is, should I paint it white and red like the old one or get it carbon wrapped???

Is wrapping cheaper and easier? It won't look out of place.

Gorgeous bike, I don't think you could go wrong with either. Could you try wrapping it yourself? Keeps costs down and if it goes well you could change it to suit your mood!

It is mate. I ended up there after blasting round some very tight lanes. The place in the sign is where I got married.

I don't think there would be much difference in cost. I painted the mirrors myself and they've lasted, so would only be the cost of a vinyl.
