As per other reviews, easiest wat to create holes is by melting them out. I used a relevant sized wood drill bit. Once that is done the hugger is very easy to fit and takes about 5 minutes. Looks good and very stable.

Fast delivery. Seems well made. Not east to fit as previously mentioned. I did take the last guys advice (eventually) and used a spare bolt heated to burn through the plastic casings on the bike. Once that was done it fitted perfectly. I am really pleased with this hugger, it is good quality and solid.

Very satisfied withe this rear hugger - but can be challenging to fit due to restricted access for drilling (the necessary mounting holes are marked by Honda on the plastic airbox but not pre-drilled). The favourite trick is to use a heated bolt or iron to progressively burn a hole in the desired spots.
