I think this product would be great for my Breva, but I can't find any place in US that carries them, am I out of luck?
 
I have just taken mine off, rubbed on the tyre and no amount of adjusting would stop it form doing so - the design needs a bit of tweaking, and the fiberglass was cracked around the lower mount.
 
I have a skidmarx hugger on my 05 B11, and it makes absolutely no difference to the amount of crud thrown up over the rear shock or swing arm, especially in the rain.
Looks nice, but thats about all...
 
I had one put on at my last service. It looks nice and does keep the crap from the shock. Yes, in rain the water sploshes of the underside of the wheel arch but the shock seems to stay dry. It is far too close to the tyre though but I've had no rubbing yet. I may look to make some different brakets to allow a bit more space.

GrahamNZ's rubber flap is a much better solution to keeping the crap from the shock.
 
Yep, got to agree with that.
I stuck a piece of truck inner tube to the bottom of the battery box and it works just fine!
 
Just had one shipped to my door. Got it in fiberglass, would have liked carbon fiber, but I figured there is better use of a $100 perium, at least for me. Will put in on in the next couple weeks with pics to follow

Lucky me and family are going to Mexico for spring break in a few days, and that will slow my Guzzi isoome down a bit!:laugh:
 
My Skidmarx Griso hugger arrived today too.

As noted by others the mounts are ugly. I decided to spray them before mounting since I have some PJ1 paint in the garage. I primed them tonight, tomorrow night I'll black them, Friday night mount the hugger and them I am good to go...

I put on the Hugger, and as some have noted the mounting left a bit to be desired. The sub fender sat only an 1/8 of an inch from the tire on one side. I then drilled a new mounting hole to get it closer to 1/4.

This is how it looks. Seems to work well, and thus the bike is now much faster!!!
 
give it a couple of months and listen for the "clang clang clang" after the swingarm bracket breaks, as well as going fast you will stop fast too! :laugh:
hopefully mine was a one off, but keep an eye on those brackets for cracks.
