Searched the internet for huggers - this one looks OK

Wouldn't like to speculate whether she has any skidmarx .....




Actually, when I had a standard Falco swingarm I had a carbon fibre NWS hugger - that was very nice.

I think NWS products are of rather better quality than Skidmarx. Some, if not most, of NWS's plastics are made by Pyramid Plastics. I replaced a Pyramid DB screen with a Skidmarx standard one, & the fit was appalling, while the plastic itself was noticeably thinner & flimsier.

So who knows what the little critter above is?

I can tell you, as I've actually had one sitting in my hands. It's a Tarsier, and is apparently the world's smallest primate. Unfortunately (probably because they are so cute looking) they're on the endangered species list.

Is there any truth to the rumour that they are the origin of the expression.

I'll second the votes for the NWS hugger. A well put together, good looking piece of carbon fibre, it is.

TBH I think the crap flap is doing a pretty decent job...

Or am I the only one thinking this?
