As the title says…

I’m after a k1300s iLmberger carbon rear hugger.

Must be in good original, undamaged condition.

Cheers

John

Cheers for the link, but I'm not looking for a k1200s front mudguard/fender.

Sorry clicked on the wromg thumbnail. Have you tried contacting Ilmerger?

They do suddenly seem quite rare.

If you're after beauty then there's nothing close in quality.
If you're after protection then Powerbronze or Puig will sell you something similar in plain black plastic.

[Edit: a couple of years ago North Oxford BMW said they had several, but no suitable bolts to fit them (slightly longer than standard, but not too long). You could try ringing and still see if they have stock. A long shot but phone calls are cheap.]

Mine was the last one the importer had and that was wayyy back. He had no bolts either and suggested I merely remove the rather thick washers from the bolts and use them like that. Worked perfickly!

Actually, that might have been for my K12 but the fitting method is the same.

Thank you for that into. I’ve just pinged off an email. Can’t make calls while I’m at work at the moment.

Had a reply from North Oxford Motorrad.

Unfortunately, they don’t have any in stock. So it looks like I’m going to have to rely on e bay or hopefully someone here may find one laying around or tucked away somewhere.

I do have one for a k1200s, but as I’ve gone up to a 55 profile rear tyre, I now need one for the k1300 or find an engineer type of person that could modify mine… 🤞

[raesewell]

Would it be possible to make some bracketery to raise it up a bit to accomodate your tyre profile.

[Phmode]

Or let some air out of the tyre...

Never again!

I’ll ride out the wait for one to hopefully come up for sale. Only a few weeks left until I get busy with work again so won’t be out riding much.

I may go down the temporary road though, I’ll think it over …


That’s for the replies people 👍

I understand the 'need' for a carbon hugger, but if you want to keep the arse end of your bike really clean, do you have the rear mudguard fitted. Someone will pop up with the linky thingy in just a mo. But at c. £20 it is a much better solution and works way better than the hugger. Just not as bling and non one really knows if you have it fitted.

Stealth shite reducer!

Those rear mudguard extenders are extremely rare now. However, there's one on eBay right now - secondhand at £50:

Is it worth £50? Just about - if you use your bike in the rain a lot.

There are few new in Europe at about the same price, but add P&P to the £50-60. Just search for:

Cheers Phmode, I already have one fitted, thanks to this site. Never understood why is wasn’t fitted at the point of sale. Down to squeezing the cash out of the customers I expect.

I was surprised how much crud it kept off my luggage on a very wet 2 week trip. Rained almost every day, a bit like this years summer here in the South Wet, I mean South West 🌧
