Title: Rear Hugger Advice
Post by: Six95 on August 26, 2014, 10:52:00 PM
Hi,

I've just completed a 4.5" to 5.5" rear wheel conversion on my M695.
However the rear hugger is now rubbing the sides of the 180 rear tyre that I have bought.

I do want to replace it. I have seen a few S4 carbon ones for sale? Will these fit? or can anyone offer a different solution?

Thanks

I don't think the carbon S4 hugger will fit your steel swingarm.
The S4 had an aluminum swingarm, and historically they've been different fender interfaces between steel and aluminum swingarms.

The only 'for sure' solution would be to fit an aluminum swingarm.  :P

... or cut it down to fit (carbon is really easy to cut)

Maybe a hugger off a 2002 900 or 03-05 1000 with a steel swing arm?
