Just as the title says.. was just thinkin about how nice tire huggers look on the 08-up bikes.. and sport bikes in general...

Has anyone found one that works without mods or with minimal mods?

Just curious...

Whats a tire hugger?

:doh:

Hmmmm...... I have an idea. I'll get back to you guys in a couple of days to let you know what it is and whether or not it works. ;)

that would look pretty sweet with a chopped fender

Ok folks, I'm going to go ahead and let the cat out of the bag now that I'm fairly certain I can accomplish this. I'm going to try and make a tire hugger out of the rear fender I replaced with a comp werkes fender elim. (I always knew there was another good reason for keeping that massive ugly piece of plastic in one piece.) I'll give you guys more details as I work, but I'm going to attempt to make a DIY for this project, if it works out. My biggest worry is figuring out how to get the thing to fit in underneath the tail. I might end up needing to trim the other fender piece that's still on the bike...... :D

I would start with some vinyl sheet from US Plastics:

Why waste a good part when you are going to go through several revisions before you are done?

I'm going to go through revisions? I'm not making some kind of well-developed part that I can recreate and sell. I'm much more worried about whether or not it'll actually fit the bike. If I can find a way to get it to fit, I'll just mount it up. The prototype will be the finished product. I'm not wasting a good part either. I don't use it at all. It's been sitting in my garage collecting dust. Besides, this isn't going to cost me a cent. I'm going to cut off a little bit at a time and see if it fits and is still able to attach somewhere. If it doesn't work out, I end up with no hugger and a little more garage space. :D
