    Conquest have got the Carbon Huggers back in stock, one ordered and hopefully on its way,,,I know there are other options with suppliers but I have a few Conquest pieces of carbon and I am well happy with the quality and the look.

    Good luck ! I Got mine from CarbonFBR as Conquest out of stock and it took a bit of modifying and longer shoulder screws to get it to fit right....
    They do look great though!
    I believe Conquest are in the process of changing supplier so will be interesting to see what happens.
    Yes lets see some pics when fitted :)

    Got mine from Motocomposites and I’m having my dealer fit them (hugger and chain guard) when I take it in for service. Hoping mine just fits without issue. So far all other parts fit like OEM.

    The Hugger came this morning Royal Mail, opened the well packed box and took out the Hugger, It is brilliant (If your into carbon fibre) to say I am pleased is a bit of an understatement

    The mark on the hugger is a photo glitch, the finish is immaculate

    I took the old one off and fitted the carbon item, it is a well engineered item and the fit is perfect.

    Please ignore the white plastic washers, as they will be replaced with black washers

    just to derail the thread do you notice any difference to the handling with the lowering bracket

    not really, I had her up to 140 mph (On a private road) when I first got her, repeated the speed test once I had fitted the lowering kit and dropped the forks through the yokes to keep the geometry and rake right. I'm a short arse so the biggest benefit is I can touch the floor.

    Andy, they a 6mm x 1.0 pitch, they are shouldered so I use an 8mm plastic washer. The washers I have go over the shoulder but leave about 2 mm of the metal shoulder showing, enough to fit through the hugger.

    Andy I had Prilla's from 2000 and I love them to bits my factory Tuono was getting a bit much for me, so I took the V4 out on a demo from Sheffield Aprilia, FFS they are rapid for a road bike, so I was recommended by a friend to try a Speed Triple never looked back
