Norton plastics

Is it just me or are the norton plastics not up to scratch :

2.5 years ,
Cracked headlight bucket ,
Cracked indicator stalks
Cracked number plate surround
Cracked rear hugger

Just bought carbon fibre hugger off eBay
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Zero-Lim...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m2748.l2649

Should do the trick

Cheers

That’s gotta be the best excuse for buying carbon ...!

The only thing that cracked on me that is plastic is the internal tab in the headlight bucket that retains the bezel. My fault, went a little too tight on the screw although fragile none the less. My chain guard cracked due to rust and the bike never got wet. Could be the saltwater environment I ride in. The CF guard is SO much better. Its more rigid and impervious to moisture and salt. WOW. That hugger is cheap compared to the dealer prices here in the US. Is it aftermarket? Please give us info on the fit once installed. I gotta have that. That's what we need. More places to purchase either factory supplied or even aftermarket items.

Carbon Hugger arrived today.
very nice
fits perfect
$167 aud delivered to door

Thanks for posting, just ordered one to replace my cracked plastic one. US $133 shipped to Texas

So much cheaper than buying direct from Norton or Norton dealership... I've bought the Carbon Hugger and Flyscreen from Zero-Limits for $124 & $113 respectively (delivered to US) & the Windscreen Hardware Fitting Kit from AF-1 Racing for a total of $78 delivered. Grand total = $315 USD Same parts from a Norton dealer would cost $770 + shipping. So around a $475ish USD savings!
