Carbon Fiber rear hugger interest???

The water spots up the tailight, thats about it.

I took a look through a bunch of bike mags I had laying around and none of the new superbikes have a very long rear hugger if they have one at all. Some is better than none but I am guessing (I just trimmed my hugger and haven't ridden with it yet) the downsides are minimal. The Multistrada and 999 don't even have a hugger stock!

Here is a pic of mine loosely installed in case I hear back from some of the CF guys looking for a mold...

I heated the trailing edge and bent it up gently for a bit of detail:

Ok everyone, I finally heard back from someone who is interested in making these in Carbon Fiber. http://www.Valenceusa.com said they could make them. Can I get a reply to see how many people are interested? I know a lot will depend on price, but I asked that question and a reply is pending. I will post it here as soon as I find out.

Take a good look at what I have for a fender. If the general consensus likes the look (short with raised lip) I will use mine as an example, otherwise I will need another fender sent in for the mold to be made.

Ok...can I get a show of hands?!?!?!?

Are these exclusively for 99+ or can they be modified to fit 91 - 98?
I will vote YES if they can fit a 96 SS with slight tweaking.

I am pretty sure the dimensions for the 900SS huggers were the same from 1992 through 2001. In 2002 they went to a beefier swingarm, but I am looking into having that one made too.

After all that this thread has gone through only 3 people (including me) are interested in this thing? C'mon people!!!

You might want to start a new thread on this topic. Since this one is so old, some people probably don't check it as often as they used to...

I think Jessica would probably like a carbon hugger on her '04 800, but it has the plain old steel swingarm. Would this use the same piece as the early 90's Supersports? Or something altogether different?

Sign me up !!! ( 95 900 SS )


Nick, I appreciate your delignence on following up with this... and I agree with Scott, I had grown accustomed to this thread sitting for so long that I didn't check it as often....

Cheers
