Sportisi or A-Tech hugger?

brianhilker · February 18th, 2010, 01:56 PM

Show me your huggers and vote for which you prefer!

Sportisi:

A-Tech:

Also want to recommend and show some support to ThaiNinjaRR and his hugger as this guy really does work hard for us ninjettes!

Snake · February 18th, 2010, 03:00 PM

I like the look of the Sportisi better.

want1sobad · February 19th, 2010, 05:35 AM

sportisi looks factory, like it belongs on the bike. a-tech just doesn't flow right, imo.

JokerSeven · February 19th, 2010, 01:22 PM

Sportisi all the way. Not only does it look better, but it is easier to get and costs 1/2 as much.

Now if only Matt could get me one in '09 Black

CZroe · February 20th, 2010, 12:19 PM

Sportisi matches the bike's style and disguises the wimpy swingarm. A carbon cover isn't foolin' anyone.

ninja250 · February 21st, 2010, 05:25 AM

Woops my reply was supposed to go in this thread. Must be cause I'm awake too early. lol
Yeah if I could afford it I'd go with all the A-tech carbon cowling. Stuff looks amazing! I love how carbon looks. So clean! You guys should see the front cowl on Beasts' bike. Dig it!

You could also always paint over the carbon fiber!
That's how they used to do fiberglass until they figured out a sexy twill weave in carbon.
When you mask over the carbon and paint over it but leave some parts exposed to let it show through it really looks good.

paterick4o8 · February 21st, 2010, 05:40 AM

if $ isn't an issue, A-Tech

blackburn RR · February 21st, 2010, 07:55 AM

sportisi, matt black!
the CF looks unnatural and out of place.

kylerwhite · February 21st, 2010, 11:16 AM

Sportisi all the way. Just wish i could get a green one for my bike.

tlhamon · February 22nd, 2010, 04:00 PM

I've been a way for a while. Where can I buy one? Either one, they both look cool.

want1sobad · May 28th, 2010, 06:35 AM

i'll be going with this one, Paul (ThaiNinjaRR), can source for 135

addy126 · May 28th, 2010, 07:49 AM

Sportisi is my preference (looks & price)

May 28th, 2010, 11:03 AM

Sportisi all the way. Looks 100x better than the others, plus Matt is a great guy to deal with!

dimeified · May 28th, 2010, 01:01 PM

i must be the only person who thinks the huggers make the bikes look soft. the original chain guards look like ninja stars, very bad ass. The huggers make the bikes look more goldwing-esk

ScorpionNinja · May 28th, 2010, 02:34 PM

Neither!

Snake · May 28th, 2010, 02:41 PM

Vince (want1sobad ) I like the way you used jack stands as a rear stand.

Good choice in huggers.

bob706 · May 28th, 2010, 02:45 PM

I like the one I got on e-bay from Scott somebody-or-other, but if given your choices I would go Sportisi.

ztrack157 · May 28th, 2010, 03:12 PM

This thread reminds me I need to order more asap.

Just look at the swingarm without a cover to hide it and it looks decidedly "dinky" no matter what the chain-guard does.

I dunno, you might not be the only one. I like the look of a hugger alone, but with some of these that also put a fake plastic cover over the entire swingarm to make it look larger, it's not my cup 'o tea.

Now when someone actually swaps on a stiffer/stronger/larger swingarm, I can't help but admit I like the look.

It's not so much that I like the look of a swingarm cover, but that I HATE the look of the stock swingarm.

kirana · May 29th, 2010, 12:17 PM

the first photo up there is using my handphone in sportisi,
and this is the new model,so u will not have all that oil under your rear seat,hahahaha

How is the new model more effective at keeping oil off your tail?

I don't see it, unless you are talking about chain lube.

Guinss · May 29th, 2010, 03:17 PM

The Sportisi looks really good. Where is the place to order it from?

Matt (ztrack157) in these forums is the exclusive US and Canadian source. He may be able to source one for you too. Dealing with him may be easier than dealing with the source (Bram/bprayogo of Sportisi) directly in Indonesia.

, not my bike Rick, just a pic i found with the hugger i like and photoshopped to look like Raven.

kirana · May 29th, 2010, 11:10 PM

yup,just ask Ztrack157,about the oil under your seat,just look at the chain cover.

Buffalony · June 14th, 2010, 09:33 AM

I went a-tech. I'm happy...for now

hmingtea · August 1st, 2011, 08:42 PM
