    I like it. How much? And do you have one? I looked at the site but being a Taff I cannot equate the English pound to my adopted and born country of America. (you do know that I am going to carry on the shit that you and Nelix gave me on my heritage, but again 60% English:)) BUT 100% American!):chaingun:Heeeheee!

    Just kicked myself after seeing that hugger - have the factory HONDA one and wish I would have looked through the forums before I purchased - guess you will see mine in the classifieds soon!

    I obviously missed half of the post(since I look at the alerts and follow from there and miss many comments) and did not get the comments on the "scottoiler term" and did not know it was a chain lube system. I just saw the pictures of you shot of under the seat. Bastard:) Would you mind expanding on the system as to its benefits and install for us? Or just a Taff. :gulp:

    In one shot I see the fender extender but on the other I do not. Was it installed by you after the first photos? If so how much and was it an easy install? Thanks

    Not a problem Bubba.

    It’s a chain lube system. Saves having to use chain lube every 500 miles, it put on a drop every 30seconds approx, it’s vacuum fed so is powered when the bike is running. Fill up every 1000 miles on the vfr because of its position. Great bit of kit I love it set up properly it’s grand, it helps keep chain clean and extends its life. fling can be washed off using soapy water.

    Some others may not like them p.

    You have a keen eye Bubba!

    The first few pics were just after I’d picked her up and fitted the rear hugger. Put the extenda fenda on a week later.

    Fitted myself, ended up taking the front wheel off, after that it’s just a case of undoing a few bolts to release the whole mudguard. I believe some have fitted it whilst still on the bike but since I had the time decided to do it the long way. Not a difficult job at all.
