Saul Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I am toying with getting a hugger for my bike for the winter. Worth it or just a decoration? I will be cleaning the bike every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I find the mudguard pretty good at stopping detritus getting flung up over the back. Maybe wait n see how you find what you’ve already got? But don’t wait til your can’t undo mud caked bags before ordering 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 I know I am gonna have to stay off ebay. All the daft bolt on things I have been looking at that I don't need or want really. I am going to fit my top box though but that is sitting in the shed so won't cost anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be careful if you fit a top box as the standard racks are notoriously weak and will snap if you put too much weight on it. There are a few strengthening kits available but I’d get in touch with CoooerB Motorcycles based near Northampton as they are Enfield specialists and can provide a really good kit. I had one on my Himalayan and it worked out well. If you do speak to them ask for Ian and say Skippy says hello………..and start sharing your biscuits 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just some where to stash my helmet and carry my lunch, shoes and lappy to work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
