Thanks. I've never had issues with that in my 250k+ miles of riding. Maybe I just ride in clean places? lol
You maybe do. My experience of traveling abroad in Europe and the US is that roads many parts (north and mountains aside) are generally cleaner in winter. We have a particularly nasty combination of salt and grime from more wet weather which coats everything and rots it. Bikes that are ridden even partially in winter need as much help as they can get. Huggers, extenders, dunking in ACF50! 🙂.

No expert since I didn't research and fit, but does help to stop swingarm and shock being as battered by road debris and road salt etc. I couldn't get a good hugger on the Triumph but did fit a small protector which stops the shock being sprayed at least.

Probably not much use to you since it's a UK company, but there was one of these already fitted to my bike when I bought it.

It's actually a 6th gen hugger for some reason but fits with no issues on my 5th gen. Unlike many, it comes with a metal bracket which attaches on top of the chain guard. The only oddity thing I think is less than good is that it needs a long cable tie to attach it around part of the swingarm.
I'm pleased I have it. I couldn't get one I was happy with on my other bike and that definitely gets dirtier as a result. The hugger is good for protecting the shock and spring a bit in particular. I'd say my shock looks pretty good externally for a UK bike as a result.

To add to this - In my case (99 FiX) I ordered the "straight" filter and received one with the U bend in error. I returned it only to then realise that the rubber pipes could do with replacement as they were starting to crack. I ordered what I thought was a U shaped pipe (16712MBG000 as shown on the supplier's fiche diagram) but received a straight pipe (16712MBG010) and then found that the U pipe is discontinued. So it looks like I now need to send back the fuel filter again - grrrr.
There are two rubber pipes (i.e. one between pump and filter (which is what I'm describing above) and one between filter and the tank outlet 16711-MBG-010). Although only slightly different in length, one is 3 times the price of the other. If I'd known they were both going to be straight I'd have tried getting some submersible hose and cut to length.

I noticed there are 2 different fuel filters listed on ronayers.com parts fiche.
... 16900-MBG-013
... 16900-MBG-003
One costs a couple bucks more. Anyone know the difference?
16900MBG003 has straight inlet and outlet. I think 013 has a U shaped inlet. I appear to have 003 on my 99 FiX, but the parts fiche at a UK supplier (Fowlers) shows a picture of filter with straight inlets and part number 013 - so highly confusing.
In a Youtube video of someone changing filter on a 2000 model, the filter appears to be 013 with the U shaped inlet. It may be possible to fit that to an earlier bike, but the rubber pipe which joins from the pump outlet to the filter inlet would need to be modified (see my reply below for an update on this).
I know this is an old thread - but this may help someone finding the info. by Googling - as I did.

Is the filter on the inlet side of the pump or outlet?
The sock filter is on inlet, the metal encased filter is on outlet.

Can’t vouch too much for this since I’ve not tried to follow it, but looked sensible and was easy to follow…
