Has anyone fitted a Touratech Tyre Hugger, not the rear one that comes standard with the GS there is an inner one that fits on the swingarm  and also mounts on the drive shaft tube, as you know I have a few Touratech share certificates and find that their products are generally excellent, however this particular product is up to SHITE (and not cheap I think it was over 1K)  it keeps breaking the mounting bolt which screws into the swing arm bolt, and has chaffed the drive shaft tube so badly that I had to spot putty and re-spray the tube, I did approx 5000kms with it on, I did send an e mail to TT here but sadly no reply. would be interested to hear if anyone but me was foolish enough to buy one, probably good for Europe but not on good old Safrikan dirt. ???
