Looks slightly interesting, but they really need to show a full bike shot to give you an idea what this looks like.

It's actually a well known hugger. Most people agree that it looks terrible, so it doesn't get talked about much.

At first glance. I'd say it would not complement the angular styling of the 300. The new bike looks like origami and needs something with lines and creases.

Now see, I don't think the windscreen is that bad. Looks like what the TT racers use.

I have seen that rear hugger and I'm not a fan. I just looks so clunky and out of place.

The hugger is ugly and costs $160 + shipping.
There's a distributor in the USA.

It's really the same hugger as the 250 version unless it also uses the 300 hugger's OEM mounting points.
http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=103280 It looks much better with the chain guard painted black, though it does nothing for the awkwardly-long look on the other side. That's what cover + hugger designs are good for (A-tech, Shintp, Sportisi, etc). |

Thanks for the useful knowledge. I was not aware of the seemingly massive agreement. Apparently I'm in the minority thinking the Skidmarx hugger looks good. It also covers a larger sector of the rear wheel than some alternatives, making it at least as functional as well..
