Anyone use powerbronze stuff?
Im looking at possibly getting the powerbronze hugger and front fender in carbon fiber. Anyone have any experience with their stuff?

Comes with all needed hardware to hang it,no grubbing for washers,etc. Shipping is a little slow from Blighty but that's the only problem if your in a hurry to recieve.

I recently bought one for my Versys and am well pleased.
The fit & quality is great. Mine is just glossy black with the silver mesh screen, don't know how the carbon look one looks.
Like shotgun said just don't get in a hurry, mine took a month to get here but after looking at other's on the Versys the wait was worth it.

They make nice windshields also, had one for my Triumph. It had better air flow than the stocker.

you have to take off the wire brake line fittings and put on a bracket, or you could do it this way, hope the youtube video comes out :

Sorry, couldn't find the exact video I wanted, but you can see what I mean

Shotgun, I havent installed my hugger yet, so did you just bend all the wires on the factory hanger and take it off the brake lines ? Thanks
Oh also is that a ZG double bubble ? how do you like it ?

Also fitted the hugger. Seems like good quality, Once on the bike it's quite stiff. They say it's good for top speed??

They send you a piece of plate steel that bolts on to the swingarm for a hanger at the original brake line holder bracket,iirc.
Yeah guys,I just bent my holder open enough to remove it.
Gained 6HP and 10 ftlbs. torque so you Know you gained top speed. ;-)
Happy New Years everybody!

The windscreen is some Chinese bubble job in Blue,$8.00.
Yeah, 8.
Find them on ebay.
It's stock style with a little bubble,does okay for around town tooling.
I do have a ZG double bubble and it's a good screen.

Yep. The hangers is quite strong so was hard to bend open. I found it was easier to take them off the swing arm [Damage to swing arm] and then used a vice grip and pliers to bend them open. If you have a steady hand you can also use a cutting disk if you are not going to use them again.
