12GS - Who's was the Rubber Hugger thingy from a few weeks ago?

Dan Glibitz · Apr 21, 2006

A few weeks ago, there was a thread about huggers on the 12GS and someone (I thought it was Mouse, though I'm not sure) posted a photo of a home made Blue Peter stylee rubber "Hugger" (Really a mat

) that had been "Styled" and attached to the underside of the rear seat area. It totally protected the shock and all the underside - even your left leg!

Though it wasn't the best looking accessory I've seen, it sure did what it was supposed to do.

I'm going on a trip on my GS and wanna make one too but for the life of me, i can't find the thread or photo.

any one know or is it you?

please send or attach the photo and a rough idea how it's attached to the bike.

Fanx :beerjug:

Wow, fanx for that. Fast & eficient service. highly recommended A++++++

that was indeed the post I'd been searching for and (Sorry) it was indeed Mouse's pic that I was looking for but it's not coming up on the thread, so i guess he's deleted it from his photobucket.

yours does deffo look more "Carbon" but it's the rubber look that get's me going.

fanx again for your help.

I've PM'd Mouse but as yet, no response . . . . . . . . .

just checked the link to Colin O's PDF and I'm off to my local Conveyor-belt Rubber shop tomorrow.

though your bike looks a tad dusty, I'll not be off roadin' so hopefully I'll keep from getting soiled trousers, it's always been a problem, I blame my childhood

I'm sorted for rubber now, so fanx again :bow
