Does anybody have a picture of an S2R or S4R with a rear hugger on it? I searched around a little and had no luck. lots of just the hugger, but I need to see it on a bike. Trying to figure out if the look would be rite for me. Thanks in advance for any help

^^Nice  [thumbsup]  That bike is screaming for some BST wheels.  [evil]
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

You can see my Ducati hugger on the BOMB pictures (at least parts of it)
The ones posted above are all the kind that also covers the lower parts of the swing arm - good for shock protection. Another possible plus (YMMV) is the profile which is more, ehh... profiled.

IMO their fit isn't as flush to the swingarm compared to the Ducati part (or similar aftermarket version).

Guys - My reluctance to chop the tail is that I ride all year and it is wet as hell in NE.

Will a hugger do anything to minimize spray back w/ the tail chop?

Hey pompetta,
What belt guard do you have on there?  Looks good...

Thanks guys, that helps a lot. The hugger would be going on the bobber. I'm trying to decide if I should go with a hugger, or stop being lazy and make a fender for it. I'll probably make a stubby fender for it, we'll see.

IMO, two things would work on the PB...

a hugger/fender like celli's (could be stubbier, but the lines work, I think)

or (esp if you're not running a front) leave it bare

I would make a stubby one that would start from the base of the swingarm and not go past the seat (real stubby)...

make something like the new MTS 1200 has for the rear that also holds your plate and lights
