    Matt, it must be the same size as the OEM as I would of noticed a difference, cant check as I am off out, and the OEM hugger is packed away with the other OEM parts off the bike

    Thanks for that. I'm looking for something a bit longer to keep more crap off the bike, so probably not for me.

    Looking good. What size socket is the rear axle nut? I think it’s 46mm measuring.

    I got some 8mm stainless washers instead but I think the black looks good too.

    Sideburn most of the quality/professorial Torque wrenches have all the metric & Imperial formats, on them at the handle/adjuster end, the most important thing with a Torque wrench is once you have set it used it, return it back to 0 load.

    Lovin the hugger. Oozes quality.

    Thanks for the photos of the pro bolt thingy. Didn't know they existed. I've ordered one, £5.56 delivered. Should save me some wasted bolt purchases in the future.

    ps. Any chance of a photo of the hugger with the wheel back on.:)

    The bike is a bit dirty after Saturday & Sundays ride out, so a clean is in order before the weekend
