I got the Ohlins on today, and put the Nippy Normans Hugger on while we were in there. Thanks to my friend Nathan who helped me. I have no doubt the dealer would have charged an arm and leg to do it.

Didn't have time to adjust them yet. A short test ride indicates they are close, but will need some tweaking.

Here are some pics:

They look good. Did they come with any spec's - the specification I'd be interested in is "stroke".. (which translates using a small formula into travel at the wheels..)? The Nippy hugger also looks fine.

Looks real nice, I like that hugger. It looks like there's enough clearance so that I could still ride off road with it. Do you have any pics that show the whole bike with the hugger, not the nice close-ups you have?

Thanks

OK, Here are full bike pics. (I didn't wash the bike since the install so the dirt is no extra charge).

BEAUTIFUL!!!

Your bike looks fantastic

I have bought lots of stuff from Nippy Norman in the past.
Thanks to you, i just ordered the hugger...

I really like the BMW seat bag as well.

All the best,

E

Hugger looks great - excellent addition to the bike! - btw, can you tell me what the USD was for this and how long to ship from Nippy's?

Same shock absorbers, but different hugger.

Your bike looks really nice. There must be more available for the R in Europe.

The "Nippy Norman" Hugger, which looks great, came from England I believe.
Once ordered, how long did it take to arrive?
Did you have to pay any duty?

A couple of weeks tops. I ordered it online like any other using my credit card, and they shipped it. The shipping was a bit more, but it was still less than the carbon fibre one I have seen, and matched the black bike better (IMHO).

Cannot seem to find my receipt right now though to tell you the exact amount, but you could email them. Based on this transaction, and the one I saw that prompted me to order from them, they are good to their word.

Dan A both you and Ziobato have beatiful bikes. Powder xoated wheels! I lust.

These bikes are inspiration - I need to get customizing! Hugger, mirrors, case covers, blacked wheels - excellent!

I liked his mirrors, wonder where those are available in the US.

Thanks for positive comments about my white baby.

Dan-A. So far, not that many huggers available around here. The so called "Ilmberger" and Nippy's are the most popular (in Italy, the first one on top, I guess).
Mirrors are BMW make. Originally on R1200C.

Ziobato, Where did you get that bracket holding up your sport windshield? That like the rest of your bike is very nice to look at. Who would have thought an Italian would be so artistic?

My goal was to hide the control panel (that's one of the parts of my bike I dislike...) and to give a more dinamic and sporty look to the front end.

So, I bought an original Sport Windshield on E-Bay and keep-on modifing both bracket (new angle and chromium plating) and shield (reshaping of the lower portion and painting fumée).

To my eyes it looks ok, now.

So you bent it or had it bent?

The charge in US dollars on my Visa was $226.55 plus a bank imposed $2.26 foreign transaction fee.
