Sportisi Hugger (blue)

Shift250R · September 13th, 2009, 06:17 PM

Heres a pic of mine installed I just thought I would share how mine came out. I really like the way it changes the look of the bike by filling in the empty rear section. It goes great with my 150/60 but I had to add a few washers. Everthing was pre-drilled and fit ok. Thanks to Matt (ztrack) for helping me get this product.

alright ztrack you got me pm your way

randomwalk101 · September 17th, 2009, 01:21 PM

i really like the sportisi rear hugger...it covers the tiny rear swing arm of the 250..giving it a nice beefy appearance..very nice.

ztrack157 · September 17th, 2009, 02:27 PM

John just got your tis in the mail. I'll try to get it out today.

randomwalk101 · September 17th, 2009, 08:39 PM

The rear hugger really changes the way the bike looks. Your photos have convinced me to get one myself. Thanks

Btw how hard was it to install the rear hugger?

ztrack157 · September 18th, 2009, 12:00 AM

Typical install is about 30 minutes David. atleast for my bike it was about that long.

sixstring · September 18th, 2009, 01:32 PM

Anyone ever see a rear hugger on a 2009se? I wonder if I should get a black or green one?

ztrack157 · September 18th, 2009, 01:38 PM

green would be nice to balance the bike out black would be a hole and not pop.

paterick4o8 · September 18th, 2009, 01:53 PM

sweet. and got those bt016s you were talking to me about. what's your thots?

Hey patrick the tire rides and looks great. Thanks for your advice it was a perfect fit with plenty of room and a perfect combo with the hugger. Still need to get the front tire installed but im gonna wait til I get my wheels powdercoated

Im glad you liked the pics the install was easy except for removing and reinstalling the rear brake caliper. Its only 2 bolts but its a little hard to get to. Not a big deal though.

Ken · September 18th, 2009, 10:03 PM

Michael,

Can you elaborate on adding a few washers? (can you take a pic of where you added the washers for clearance?) I'm getting a set of bt-016s (going with the 150/60 size) installed on Tues and I'm considering replacing my Scott's hugger for this one. Thanks.

CZroe · September 19th, 2009, 12:05 AM

I want!

ztrack157 · September 19th, 2009, 12:07 AM

Better hurry I only have one blue on left.

Right were the red circle is on both sides between the hugger and the arm cover. I think I put about 2 or 3 on each side but I forgot. It was actually supposed to fit the 150/60 but maybe I did something wrong with the install. It looks fine like this though you cant even notice the washers

Shift250R · September 19th, 2009, 08:01 AM

Heres a pic of the exhaust side. Whats good about the sportisi hugger is that you can see it on both sides when you get a bright color and the arm cover is equal on both sides as well. I know im just adding pics but when I was looking to buy this hugger I could never find enough pics.

Ken · September 19th, 2009, 04:24 PM

thanks for the pics Michael!

Sound Wave · September 20th, 2009, 03:27 AM

shift, looks good. i think that hugger is one of the better looking ones on the market.

on a side note, imho that exhaust hanger kind of takes away from the looks of your bike.

have you seen this hanger? http://mysite.verizon.net/res7x2ni/e...ngerninja250r/

zartan sells them. she is a member on this site.

ztrack157 · September 20th, 2009, 11:58 AM

^ or you can keep with the sportisi theme. But I think there is nothing wrong with what he has now. Why blow $70 or even $55 when you can have it your way for $5

Rayme · September 20th, 2009, 12:27 PM

This hugger is the greatest visual mod I've EVER SEEN. So clean and hot! PM'd about pricing..thanks

I know what you mean. Im starting to think the same thing. I only made this hangar in preparation for the hugger that was on its way. I really wanted the hugger to stand out but didnt feel like spending too much on a hangar so I made a temp. which isnt too bad for the mean time but I will definately get a real hangar soon. (if ztrack has a sale or something....).

You *really* need to start making bundles! Bundle a hugger, fender eliminator or undertail, that exhaust hanger / peg eliminator, and an aftermarket rear seat cowling. I'd buy them all!

ztrack157 · September 22nd, 2009, 12:06 AM

I plan on doing a track pack. which will be exhaust hanger, exhaust, rearsets, and clipons all in one price. other packs will come. but I need to start making money before I do that.

gizmogamez · September 25th, 2009, 10:15 AM

I'm thinking about the hugger, but how well will it fit if I end up moving to a larger rear tire, like a 140 or 150? I'm going to be putting some better track tires on and don't think i'll have much choice about moving up in size.

ztrack157 · September 25th, 2009, 11:19 AM

It will fit them fine. Though with like a 150 you may need to throw in some washers for better clearance. I think a 140/70 shouldn't need any additional spacers.

zev42 · September 25th, 2009, 11:22 AM

How did you get your shift lever to be much lower than the foot peg? I bought Cycle Control rearset risers also, but my shifter is almost leveled with the foot peg... I'd like to to be 1 inch lower. It makes for uncomfortable shifting when it's so high.

ztrack157 · September 25th, 2009, 11:35 AM

^ he has an adjustable shift rod. If you do not then you will be unable to adjust your shifters position. If you do then adjust it.
