Pre-Gen Tire Hugger

Question for all you pre-gen owners:

If a Tire Hugger were available for our pre-gen bikes would you buy one?

Personaly I would buy one. I have chopped my fender and I think it would add to the look while keeping some of the rain and road grim from being kicked up.

I'd buy a pregen just to stick it on!

Sorry but there does not seem to be enough interest on this forum to try and convince someone to produce them for me. I had hoped I would have got more replies of people showing interest.

Chris, that would be great, thanks. Most are made out of plastic or fiberglass but if he could make something lightweight that would do the trick.

I saw a pretty cool reshaping of the front fender that I think goes well with a hugger...

i was thinking the below style would be the cheapest production way to make these. in 2-piece sections (hugger and chain guard) which will be bolts together during assembly.

now im sure i would be able to offer it as a hole piece (fiber glassed together) but it will be a higher cost of course.

this style offers being able to be mounted on the left side by using just the chain guard's stock mounting holes.(how other side is mounted is unknown) the center is mounted to front part of the swing arm (via 1-2 holes)


as for price right now it is still undetermined. heck i wouldn't really know what to charge. i see other huggers going for anywhere from $90-$150

i'm hoping to be able to keep cost down as much as possible!

i do need a head count on 100% buyers. the most there are the quicker i can get started. the bike will be finished by wednesday next week(9/29/10)

also like i said, i can only offer 2 material types right now. aluminum or fiber glass (fiber glass being more expensive)

so please give me some numbers on buyers and what you would ideally like to pay for one.

all parts will also be available in 3 make ready styles. fresh fab with no paint/primer, fully primed, fully polished

Cheapest, yes, but I would still be dreaming of one that disguises the swingarm. Think about how ugly that Ducati 999 Ninjette's swingarm is compares to a real Ducati's beautiful, flowing single-sided swingarm.

With a few small enhancements, I think a pre-gen can look VERY modern.... just a false cowl-line seat cover from Becky at CustomSeatCreations.com, a double-bubble windscreen + reshaped headlight with body color (on the headlight and outer "bubble" of the windscreen), some sportier mirrors, DIY fender eliminator with flush and integrated signals (the tail is already set up for this; the stalky signals were a DOT reg change) and a hugger that also hides the swingarm. It would be BEAUTIFUL.

so you mean one like this?


i considered it a possibility on down the road when i get more experience with fiberglass work. I'm sure i could do it now if i took my time with it and had the spare $$ to do so.

the most i would be willing to pay is $120 but it would have to be painted of some color for that price ( i think a glossy black would work with every bike).

yes of course, like i was saying, i want to be able to keep the cost as low as possible because the difference in cost will come back to you no matter what, meaning if i was to sell them for say $80-90 i think i would sell maybe twice the amount compared to if they were say $100-120. so i'll still be able to make enough on my end in the long run. because believe me with the time i put in for this and then having to perfect it and possibly paint it for each order the cost of everything will just pile up but so long as i dont spend more time building then shipping them i should come out just fine.

my expected material cost is around $160 to make maybe 2-4 of them, won't know exactly until i can start..

im almost done with the painting on my bike then ill be off to start motor work so were looking at about a week or two before im able to even start doing some hands on work.

That swingarm has extra bulk to it already, to which the hugger attaches. The current gen 250 has the same problem (blocky little swingarm), which Sportisi fixes by "faking" the style you show above:



There is a fake arch connecting the left and the right "arms."

Well, the swingarm on the one you just posted has a bar that rises up and wraps around just like the fake on on the Sportisi with the only difference being that one is fake and has the area in between filled in. It doesn't have to be... there is a GSX-R styled one, also from Indonesia, that does it that way. It apes the GSX-R swingarm so well that it looks like it even fits the OEM Suzuki hugger piece, though I feel that it doesn't match the new-gen Ninjette very well (it may match the pregen better).

Edit:




That one is VERY similar to the one you suggested. You can see the copy on a J-series Ninjette and the original GSX-R hugger with the only difference I can see on the hugger piece being a mounting hole on the other side. The fake swingarm piece looks convincing and doesn't take too much of the angular look away or fill in the area, in case that was the visual aesthetic you didn't like about Sportisi's. It's the concept I'm trying to show, not the style of a particular design.

it's similar yes but not 100% like i was thinking.
there wont be any 'fake' swingarm addition.

the 1piece design i was talking about would first be a molded hugger that will flare out for the chain and then sit flat on the swingarm itself.

so no dividing gaps just smooth n sleek.

ill try to mock something up with photoshop and play around with it see what i can come up with...
would use cad but dont really have a computer capable of handling that yet lol

the above style is to complicated for me, plus in the even in a crash all that bulky stuff would be trashed. mine will be out the way of certain dangers so you wont have to worry about all that bulkiness cracking and stuff

Considering how little of it you'd see because of the tail, no way. The Old gen does not have the rear end shape that is well suited to a hugger IMO. But it would be interesting to see what he comes up with.

With a taller current-gen shock and turn signals moved into the pods with the fender taken off, there's plenty of room to see. Remove the passenger pegs and add a sport cowl or race tail or even a cowl-line seat cover and the tail end looks very up-to-date except for the dinky swingarm. A hugger with a swingarm cover would seal the deal.

OK, back to this: I've read in other threads that you can use the entire rear suspension setup including the complete swingarm from the current-gen, so I imagine you can use huggers too. This excites me. Now I want that Duc999 EX250-F and a J-series swingarm and a J-series hugger.

while you're at it, do the front end as well. Might as well get the improved forks, cooler fender, and same diameter rim as the rear.

Now you'll be able to run a 140 rear tire as well. cool looking pre-gen. or you could really go for the big rear look and get the 4.5 inch rear wheel from sportisi in the same order that you get your hugger from. save on shipping.

but at that point, I bet that a pre-gen with basic upgrades like sticky tires, new-gen shock, and fork work would handle better in the twisty stuff
