Any recommendations for rear huggers that fit to protect the rear shock? I live out in the sticks, and the daily clean down is becoming a chore that I'm tempted to ignore. Probably not a good idea.

Pyramid do one for the 1150 (I assume that's still your bike) but they are expensive. "Shocktube" is a neoprene tube for your shock funnily enough and I've protected Ohlins shocks with them to good effect....Alternatively you could knock something up yourself out of an old rubber Gimp outfit.....or so I'm told.

Thanks for all of the replies. Hopefully sorted now thanks to an offer to buy a used Pyramid one.

I had one of those on my Rockster about 7 years ago.
It cracked and fell off (on Hyde Park Corner of all places!) after only a couple of months, but not before making the bike look even filthier than it had before - all the road dirt was chucked out the side of the hugger onto the swingarm.
If you have the rubber flap hanging on front of the wheel it does a pretty good job to be honest.
An expensive option - wunderlich rear splash guard. Keeps it quite clean on mine..

Thanks, that's a nice looking piece of kit. I bought a used Pyramid Products hugger from another site user, so I will see how I get on with that before lashing out more dosh, but will keep your recommendation in mind.
