Rear Hugger 900ssi

[frazelli]

Does anybody know where I can get a rear hugger to replace the big ugly thing currently on my 900ssi?

Ideally I want something that is not as big and does not cover either side of the wheel therefore more like a conventional rear hugger!

Am I making any sense???

The newer Supersports have a much smaller standard rear hugger. I owned a 1999 750ss, which had the big old rear hugger. I bought a carbon replacement, but it was nearly was big anyway. I now own a 2002 900ss and the OEM rear hugger is much smaller. A lot of road crap does get flicked up onto the pillion seat though.

Have a search through eBay or similar for the hugger from a 2002 or newer SS perhaps.

It is big, but it does a fantastic job of keeping the crap off.

I've now fitted this hugger and looks pretty good.

The quality of the carbon is very good and fits really well, the only down side for me I suppose is that although smaller than standard it is still pretty big and I really wanted something quite a bit smaller than the standard hugger.

Do you mean like this:

Trimmed Hugger (http://images1.snapfish.com/34692%3A488%7Ffp58%3Dot%3E2328%3D934%3D%3B66%3DXRO QDF%3E232374%3A573655ot1lsi)

or this in carbon:

Carbon Shortie (http://images1.snapfish.com/34692%3A488%7Ffp63%3Dot%3E2328%3D934%3D%3B66%3DXRO QDF%3E2323932975%3B%3C8ot1lsi)

The OEM hugger cuts nicely and with a heat gun you can finish and tweak the trailing edge for some added detail.

I sourced the carbon bit from www.valenceusa.com, a Ferrari supplier who are slow to move and pricey, but the product is top notch!
