<< Also has anyone found a less costly Carbon Fibre rear hugger than the Jack 
Lilley one??  I have the Triumph Plastic one on the bike now and this is 
the second one that's cracked around the closest( right side) bolt hole on 
the swing arm... I really don't want to spend $300.00 for the CF one but I 
also don't want to buy another Triumph one for $80.00 and have it break 
again...

I have the JL CF one, but noted that it came with metal mounting screws, and 
I think metal washers. I therefore made some rubber washers out of inner tube 
rubber, punching out holes the diameter of the screws with my JC Whitney 
punch, making 2 rubber washers for each mounting point. I put a rubber washer 
on each side of the cf hugger at each point, with a metal washer on the 
outside, under the screw head. No cracks so far (about a year and a half). 
This might increase the longevity of the faux CF Hugger. Dave Collins, San
