Fancy a hug?

Well if you`ve got £240 to spare then Nippy has just the job http://www.nippynormans.com/product...-carbon-fibre-hugger-r1200gs-lc-wun-43760-000

Can`t quite see how they justify the price of these things

its carbon, therefore likely handmade.

Just get a mudsling, still expensive for injection moulded plastic but proven.

I think a hugger on an adventure bike in conjunction with mud flap thing attached to the end of the drive shaft, just looks wrong.

Huggers on GS's are just wrong on so many levels

I have not seen these for the GS WC, any been made yet?

ETA for the MudSling is end of the year (according to the Oracle Nutty), quite what they're arseing about at is anyone's guess!

But I'm in agreement, that hugger looks a bit odd and I don't think it will be as effective as a MudSling.

they just look wrong to me. don't seem to do anything either.

i fitted one on my first 12GSA, and then took it straight off again and sold it.

OEM mudguard thing was ditched when i brought the bike back from the dealers too.

That looks shite

Without a doubt Trouble is, the mudsling STILL hasn't been released, so the back of the bike is getting a peppering. Oh well, it'll be another reason to chop it in next year!

I had a (used) Ilmberger carbon hugger on my Mk2 1200. It was too short so did nothing to stop muck getting thrown about.

The Mudsling helps (quite a lot), but a mudguard that extends the TUV shovel enough to protect the rear shock would stop a lot more dirt flying about. Make it QD (maybe with Dzuz fasteners) for use in off road mud.

TBH I cant see why the back wheel cant have a mudguard like the front wheel does. It could be attached with Dzuz fasteners for those who like the mucky look.

Great bit of kit and not a bad price, there 270 euro on Ilmbergers own site but they don't have any left in stock until the end of the month. I have one on back order with Ilmberger, but now I've seen this I'll give them a call tomorrow and cancel it.

BMW dealers are obtaining and selling them.

OK if you're going to stay firmly on-road and then some.

Agree hopeless if going offroad.

95% will never go off road

Yep, that'd be right

Ha ha... that's why they'll sell...
