First quiestion ?

where is the best place to but a hugger for a Speed triple?
I know of Skidmarx , triumph, powerbronze, pyramid-plastics but wanted reivews form other's who have bought from them. I have only ever had a Skidmarx Hugger for my Fazer before.

also found a very highly recommended company on a speed triple site, only prob's is that it's on Oz. Now I e-mailed them and its approx $40 in Oz dollers fo shipping and looks a great hugger

What I like about it is I have been told the quality is spot on and it extends below the swing arm to protect more then a Triumph and skidmarx 1 does..
anyone ever bought from Oz and had any problems doing so?

Cost £ 170 plus £17 shipping where as the triumph for example cost's £ 159.99


Also worth going carbon or coloured with a hugger??

and also another question for you!
Seat Cowl's?
worth getting one for the speed triple?

Not going to have a pillion so are there any benefits or not on having one fitted or just for looks???

many thanks for any replys and views

I personally wouldn`t touch a powerbronze with a barge pole,made the mistake of buying one for my xjr a while ago and it was absolute poo. Go for the Triumph one, it should be a spot on fit and colour match and the quality should be top notch too.

try this site www.t595.net for more info on STs.

hugger wise also look at Red Fox and Pyramid - I think the latter bought out NWS who were very good on quality.

In terms of prices if you order from Oz factor in additional UK tax and customs duty unless they missed out the '0' on the end or its a return for an original defective good - is it?

In terms of the seat cowl - yep looks good - but is your money better spent elsewhere - only you can answer than but remember you only live once so try to have as few as regrets as possible
