Hi Gra
I bought mine with one on and liked it but removed it when taking the back wheel out and liked it even more being able to see that big sexy wheel in all its glory. So it's a no from me ✌️

My personal opinion: without it, rear part seems a little bit "empty". With hugger your 14 will have more "complete" look.
I have it, and I like it. Sure  someone will think opposite.

we have huggers on all 3 x14's
i think it helps with keeping the bike looking clean and helps keep rain and road dirt out of the back of the bike .
we have puig huggers they have a stainless chainguard so looks much better than ones with all plastic chainguards.

but its your bike I'd look through the galleries here at as many different bikes to see what you think as to if you like or not and if so what colour is best .

good luck

.....and it's a Yes from me as well. For me fills a bit of an empty void. My preference though was the hunger without the integrated chain guard
Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

Had this on my wish list for a long time but can't justify binning the white one - Go for it  :smile2:

Been looking at the photo (and in real-time) and I'm starting to sway towards a white one, mainly due to the white front guard, I will never hang myself, as I have always had trouble making decisions :rofl2:

your choice fellas. i like them but not with chainguard. was enthralled by the blue one, mates at weekend said no. front guard is soon to be carbon fibre black, same for hugger they reckon. i agree.

I think they look pretty smart but I wouldn't personally fit one unless you were planning on removing some of the back guard.
