Rear Hugger
Hello All,
I'm sure that there is something on the site regarding putting a custom rear hugger on.
I just got one that is painted and matches the bike (BLUE) but it seems to rub the tire. Has anyone else seen this problem? Any suggestions on what to do?

I bought it off e-bay from nycparts.com. Its made of fiberglass and custom painted. Looks real good. I don't have it installed yet but when I layed it in place it looks like its going to rub in the iddle of the tire.

Yeah I'm gonna agree with the geek and say your best bet is to use spacers *i'd use aluminum washers for durability* to lift it off your tire to your preference.

Dino, how in the world did you do that, I run a 190/55 and have no clearance issues at all.....not even close as a matter of fact...?

I just went back to a 190/50 on the rear of the bike, adn it looks like ass, got way to much room between the tire and hugger now, I am going to have to fix that....;(
