Where can I get a Hugger?

[gbpot]

Looking for a hugger for 2002 1150gs. Tried Nippy's, but can't seem to find this bike in their list.
Anyone recommend anywhere?

If you want the best then search on Ilmberger. About £200 new but they do look nice and no silly special bolts to fit either.

Some of the cheaper options here and the Ilmberger one:

Pidocks were selling the pyramid one on ebay recently, without the fitting kit though.

Not trying to hijack here, honest, but I am looking for a hugger for my 07 GSA, are the Ilmberger huggers worth the extra £90 - £100 over cheaper ones, say the Machine Art Mud Sling.
I must admit when I see the photos of the Ilmberger fitted it does look neat and you do get what you pay for, have I answered my own question ??????????????

My mate had a Pyramid one on his GSA, he thought it was shite, so I had it on my GS. I thought it was shite as well.

Different beasts. If your likely to use knobblier tyres then the mud sling is probably the better option. I've had a couple of ilmberger huggers with no problems fitting or in use, but I went for mud sling type protection on my last 1200. The best option, a 2nd hand ilmberger.

Hi,

I was at SBW dealership at Hertford a few days ago and they had a couple of Ilmbeger carbon huggers that were on 'clearance' for £90 each. I seem to recall they could have been for 1150GS- definitely not 1200 or I would have had one - well worth a call.

Thanks YL,
Deal done, in post. Not often I get a bargain, I nearly paid £200 for one the other day. Just shows you, the power of the forums.

Cheers all

...and they took it back off me as mine was advertised with a kit ( which it wasn't - if you see what I mean ) ..they paid a total of £22 in postage rather than send me a kit

And a big thanks from me, too, YL - just bagged the last one - with free postage as it was their last one!!

Have a virtual pint from me !!

After "um"ing and "ah"ing over the £200 hard earned for the last 2 weeks I decided to go for a Ilmberger Hugger, so, went on nippys last night and they have gone up £30
Rubber Car mats and some zip ties, Halfords here I come

Well, my Ilmberger hugger arrived from SBW the following day, and I've just fitted it.

What a superb bit of kit - the fit and finish are of a really high quality - looks almost like it was designed by BMW for the GS - they certainly wouldn't be able to improve on it.

Almost a shame it's rather hidden - that carbon fibre is drop dead gorgeous!!

Thanks for the recommendations, guys - well pleased.
