Hugger and bellypan

Post by Bratty »

I've took the hugger off to clean the bike properly and the carbon wrap is proper shitty and at £60 to get it carbon wrapped again with the deal powerbronze are offering me it's £12 more for a new one, I'm also going to get the new hugger as well but I thought I'd ask your opinion on carbon look ???, the new style bellypan doesn't come in carbon only in shiny black which would match the front mudguard or in a carbon look !! I know it's a difficult question without pics but thought I would ask the question anyway lol
Thanks in advance.
I get knocked down but i get up again.

Personally not a fan of carbon look, I always think it looks cheap so I would go with plain black personally.

Tbh that's what I was thinking bud, it's a nice bit of kit the belly pan is a lot taller than the Ermax one I had and covers the down pipes more.

I don't mind carbon look stuff, but if you've got a gloss black front mud guard and belly pan then the carbon hugger would look out of place IMO..

+1 for black.
