All Powerbronze Rear Huggers can be fitted with an auxiliary brake light! Mounted to the rear top edge of the rear hugger for extra safety and a great look. The Auxiliary Brake Lights wire into your existing brake light look and operate in conjunction with the standard set up.


Anyone got one with the brake light built in? Looks smart but was wondering if they were any good.

Sounds interesting. I've seen a couple of things like that but not sure if it's powerbronze or not.


Can't see it being a bad thing TBH.

I asked on another forum about a powerbronze tail tidy, and the consensus was that there stuff is garbage Sad

It was only cheap, but everyone put me off.

They're rear hugger and tail tidy on my Hornet were pretty spot on!

Edit: Just tail tidy/undertray. Hugger was Pyramid...


But the Hugger was good. Only broke when I pole vaulted Laughing

Really? The tail tidy is only £45 for my bike, its over £100 for the R&G, I was just worried about the quality!

It's what came with the bike when I bought it. It fitted right and was still in very good condition (bar scratches form stones, etc) when I sold it to a guy on this forum Thumbs Up

But other bikes may be different.

I think R&G were just trying to fleece you given that it's only a wee piece of metal with a light in it.

That would be true, if the tail tidy was actually like that for my bike.

However, it is the whole underneath of the rear of the bike.

Here is a picture of the tail tidy. My local Honda garage can do it for £75 anyway, so im just going to get that!

Fair, most of the others I've seen have literally just been an L shaped piece of metal.

Hmm.

Managed to find a pic of a sports hugger with brake light. They look much better from the rear than side on..

£95 quid though.

I found 2 x LED strips for £30. I may have to buy them & bodge something. Cool

I'll bodge something, looking at my bike there's no way you'd the LEDs on a hugger anyway. Laughing
