Firstly, the tyre huggers are not of that great quality. They have snapped off on encountering craters in many of my friend's bikes.

Secondly, u cant fit it on the 200/220 as the 200 AND 220 dont have slots on their swingarms for these to be fitted.

If you are so interested, get the slots welded onto the swingarm&get it fitted. You won't even have to remove the rear mudguard.

what is Tyre hugger ...plz tell explain..if possible provide pics too...

antz.bin · 07-21-2009, 03:42 PM

it is the black plastic thing just above the rear wheel.. hugging it with both arms ending at either side of the swing arm.. the kind u see on p150 & p180.

1 problem i know of is if you have that tyre hugger and you happen to ride through slushy mud and some of it sticks to your rear wheel, you might even get stuck there itself and will have to clean up (while yourself sitting in the mud) as the bike wouldnt budge from its stuck position.

I know this b'cos my friend had a similar experience on his p180.

Welding would be difficult as the 220/200 have got an elliptical swingarm.

I myself have seen the hugger fall off but i thot it was due to poor fitting... thanx i get ur point clear...

SO its time FOr THIS question ....

....Just want to kno how u guys feel ....

1)HOw do u rate the new p220

?

2)Do u think the launch of the new p220 created any disturbances in ur thots ?

3)Are they right in what they said ? that IT IS THE FASTEST INDIAN??

4) Finally, if in case ur satisfied with the new bike Is there any thing which u would like to import from it(or even steal) onto ur current machine.. ?

5) Were the articles in the newspapers and tv's adversely affecting ur decision of buying the Fi or repenting on buying ? since BAJAJ showed so much hype in it...

ps...i certainly felt i should have gone for the carb one, but i cudnt wait.... and more over i knew the Fi was better anyday and in the longer term

OR AM I ?
