Seriously, I really don't know the clearance and how tough it is.. I will try it and see. My front fender extender is doing fine so far..
Too bad its gloss black. Think a flat black would be more in character with the rest of the bike (at least for us with blue paint). If they came out with a glossy one that matches the blue, that might look pretty schnazzy.

Howdy,
So who has it available in the states? Twisted Throttle was rather vague as when they would have it available. :question:

Norm

It is available now.. Just go to the UK site and find the dealers in the USA. Pick the first dealer(can't remember the name), out of CA.Wanderer said:
I love the rattle can suggestion and have done some of that already. (Painted the heat shield on the exhaust next to your right foot flat black. Looks great!) However, doubtful I can find a color that matches the blue. As well, I have trouble paying ~$120 for a part I know I will have to paint. Goes against my nature.japako said:

Hi Ron,
Thanks for your e-mail and interest in this new product of ours.
We haven’t supplied any of these to the US so far, but we have a first order of front fender extensions (extenda fendas)
shipping to a new distributor (Alt Rider) on Monday and one of our new Super Tenere huggers will be included too.
Alt Rider have a good range of lines for this bike and we fully expect that they will want to offer our hugger as well.
If you were to contact them and express interest in buying the product from them that would be a step in the right direction
I think!
Their web address is www.altrider.com and our contact there is erik.s@altrider.com (Erik Seymour).
They should have stock of our extenda fenda for your bike by the end of this coming week – our part number 052100 / their part number will be PYRM-1-7002, and the Pyramid range will appear on their site in the coming days.
If you need any further help from this end, however, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best regards,
Karen

Got my pyramid plastic hugger 2 weeks ago, its made out of fiberglass with a gloss black finish, my bike is blue and it looks ok and you dont notice it. the fitting points are realy good as it is bolted down on both sides of the swinging arm/drive shaft .
i fitted it on the 20 of june then went to germany black forest area and got back yesterday, the hugger worked realy well and we had torrential rain on the way down for nearly 300 miles,
its still solid and nothing broken or cracked, and i coverd nearly 2300 miles ;D
its a realy well made product ,id post some pictures if my son was at home , but he isnt and i cant /dont know how :-[
a big thumbs up from me ::008::

Hi folks,
I fitted mine yesterday. Very nice looking, secure fixings as mentioned above. I have not been unfortunate enough to try it in the rain today as we had some rare sunshine.

And here is a shot of each side fixing. On the left you attach a bracket to one of the final drive studs, and two bolts then mount the hugger to this bracket.
The right side mounts to the brake torque rod, using the original fixings.
Apologies again for the poor photos, but taken on my phone in a dark garage!

Hmm, looks pretty good. The gloss black would look great on the ravens. ???
If that's the US price, I'll have to pass. Just seems like too much for a item like this.

I had mine delivered yesterday, it was easy to fix and looks fine, Ive not had chance to ride the bike yet but my initial thoughts are that it is a nice bit of kit.
The only time consuming bit for me was that I took the wheel out in order to get the torque wrench on the final drive stud nut. I could have tightened it ok with a normal wrench but I like to get the right settings.
It was good to do the wheel removal procedure, though, as I had not done it before and I like to familiarise myself with these things.
