The NWS response. (Originaly sent to the thread started by Lee)
Hi, Simon here, proprietor of NWS. I can not deny that I have been taken aback by the response to my hugger. I would like to make a couple of points..........
The NWS hugger weighs approx. 750 grammes c/w the mounting kit. I use mild steel for mounting brackets because I believe it offers the best compromise of strength, weight and ease of manufacture. The bracket has a durable satin black finish and is mostly obscured by the hugger and rear mudguard.
I decided that there was little point in developing a product that required removal of components already fitted to the bike for the purpose of crud reduction, ie the rear mudguard and shock guard.
I have produced in excess of 60 different huggers over the years and I can no longer bring myself to produce dull and unstyled ones. I accept that I may have gone too far on this one but, speaking as a GS 1150 owner, I did not believe it would be possible to offend BMW owners with aesthetics!
Early in the development process I concluded that it was not possible to run the hugger below the swing arm due to the lack of clearence as the swing arm articulates with suspension travel. If Motorrad Concepts have overcome this I take my hat of to them, or I would if it had not fallen off when I bent down to pick the ball up. Ha,ha. ('we're as disappointed as anyone else that established players have quite simply dropped the ball with this product.'-Dutchman)
Thank you for your time, Simon. NWS
