Skidmarx rear hugger and fender extender

Norway · March 13th, 2014, 03:45 PM

I have added a rear hugger from Skidmarx, to keep the rear wheel from throwing so much dirt around and towards the rear shock absorber.

I also added a fender extender at the front, to keep some dirt from the radiator.

First picture does not show much, but still .........

Looks good! I added the Fenda Extenda recently because I found a couple of small dings in the radiator. That Skidmarx hugger is the one I wanted, but it looks like I missed my chance to get one in Passion Red, as no vendor seems to have one.

So, it's a different red than what they provide here, I guess;

Have you considered spraying one in the colour you want?

Thanks for the link! I will try to order one. The last time I attempted to order one from a vendor in the UK, they refunded me and said that red was not available any more. But that was not direct from Skidmarx.

Yes, I could paint one, but the supplies for matching paint + primer + clear topcoat cost nearly $100 US.

I doubth that you can't fit a tire wider than the original one when using this hugger (130 ).

They're not a very good fit, either the previous owner installed it badly or it just doesn't line up completely right. There's very few good reviews on them.

You'd be hard pressed to fit a wider tyre, it's close to rubbing new BT45s

Sorry to hijack, but man, it makes me angry to see that they make you use a license plate that big on a motorcycle. Ok, I feel better now.
