RE: rear tire hugger

["Archer, Doug" <DArcher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The earlier plastic huggers are very flimsy around the bolt holes.
The later designed ones have extra bracing.  I have not yet heard
of any of these breaking.   I personally have one of the later ones
with no sign of problems yet.

Later  Doug.

Hi Bruce,
I bought the plastic hugger and have had no problems with it.  If you want
an
idea of the quality of the plastic used to make the hugger just look at the
present chain guard on your ST.  The hugger is made out of the same stuff
and
the build quality is the same.
