    Just had a new M7rr rear fitted, decided to go for a 55 profile this time. The hugger to tyre looks really close, is this ok?

    Ta!

    Si
    What hugger is that ?
    It doesn't look like it will stop the spray hitting the rear shock.
    Does it work OK ?

    Oooooh Si that's mighty close dude :eek: it'll be ok just stick to 30mph for the next 4k miles or so ;)
    That hugger looks like real c.f. I would hate for that to shatter putting shards into your lovely new hoop causing a blow out :eek:
    A little dramatic maybe it's just I would hate for anything to happen mate! I little to close for comfort for me Si :)

    Hate to be the bringer of bad news but there's some dirt on your chain guard.
