SV hugger pics

[arj127]

Finally found some coin to purchase a hugger from the states. Wen't to LJ Smits and bought half a litre of paint match and sprayed the hugger and undertail which i had previously bought from ebay aswell.
Am really pleased with the result, it really changes the look of the bike, sort of completes it.



Thought i'd put a pic up of my daughter learning how to whip aswell.

looks good mate, and you're right, they do finish it off nicely



where'd you get it from?

Very nice

Would need to see something like this in the flesh for myself before deciding to get one for my SV first though. Would imagine it will be a lot easier to keep your bike cleaner now.

I'm surprised you managed to find some paint that matches? What brand and colour was the paint?

Yeah, that blue paint is awesome. Its a base coat/clear coat. Was painting it outside in the daylight, the metallic base doesn't look like anything until you put the clear over it, then it just comes alive!

I bought it via ebay from a user called workingsupraman, it was actually a secondhand hugger, so was in fair condition when i got it and was painted in the suzuki copper colour. He also has new huggers for sale, but this cost me about half that.

Keeping the bike clean was one of the main reasons i wanted a hugger (since removing the spade a while ago), to try and stop dirt and shit landing on the pillion seat area.

An automotive paint supplier will be able to help you with a paint match, they have suzuki colours listed in there books.
I was supposed to actually spray a metallic silver base on first and then a blue tint over that, but the guy at Smits put the blue tint in with the silver to make it less hassle for me. I then sprayed 2k clear over it.

I would definately recommend putting a hugger on that sv of yours.

If you havent already may pay to go get a roll of the clear paint protector and put some on the undertray,when i fitted mine i quickly found the stones chip the paint off pretty quick,a few bits of the protector and no more chips,cant even really tell its on there.

Unfortunately mate a hugger wont stop the shit flying everywere and like me you will find with the spade out back gone its worse in the wet,no matter as your not on the back.

True, i did notice when i removed the undertail for painting that the orginal black gelcoat did have chips in it, and i didn't take much notice. I will definately be putting some clear film on now. Cheers for that
