Hi Everyone,

Just bought a 2009 1250 K9 Bandit purple/reddish, with a carbon pipe. 

Based on the Sunshine coast anyone else up this way? 
Also any advise on where I can get a rear hugger from other than UK or USA!

Thanks

Tim

Hi and welcome aboard.
I've bought Pyramid Huggers before. They have a distributor in WA I'll see if I can find their email address.
It was cheaper buying through the distributor than directly from Pyramid.

It's the same pix that they use on their eBay site too but the Aussie mob do the importing and cover the risk. Don't stress mate.

Hi Harries81 and welcome to the fold. A hugger is a good idea if you ride on a few dirt/muddy roads. Saves your rear shock.  Enjoy.

My good mate Phil Parry just sold GCC, he must have made plenty of money from it over the years.....I only got stuff off him if it was free Smile
He did well for a bloke with one and a half legs! Can ride a bike pretty bloody fast too.
