Anyone know if the Pyramid plastics hugger for the R1150R will fit on the Rockster?
Only asking because the Rockster uses a wider rear wheel/tyre. Anyone on here with one fitted?

I've only tried an Ilmburger R1100S c/f hugger which unfortunately was 2nd hand and broke (known issue).
I don't think it made much difference tbh - if anything it made the swingarm muckier!

I put one on my bike yesterday, and there seems to be good clearance on either side for a wider tyre, but you'd have to check it in person really.
There are two bolts provided which replace the factory brake-caliper retainer bolts, the hugger is then attached to these - "further out to the right" as you look at the bike from behind.
It seems an okay, if not fantastic product - 7/10 for me so far (though how it could be improved is more difficult to describe!).

Fibre glass R1150R hugger (non Rockster, on Rockster) - the left side of the tyre looked like polished where the hugger was touching (not on the new tyres, must be different shape) ... also needed a bit of modification at installation time as it was gently touching the swingarm.
Rating - 7/10 ... and as someone pointed (was it RB???) swingarm and especially muffler look soooooo dirty.
If I had to do it again - would have just bought better quality item and fitted it despite the drawbacks.
