Hugger for rear wheel...any rumors of one?

[AMTJIM]

Anyone hear or see an aftermarket rear wheel hugger being made for the spyder yet?:2thumbs:

And to keep this thread on the first page.......

How about a lower belt guard to keep rocks out of that expensive belt?

Lower belt guard would be good have seen many H-D riders remove thears and lost belts from debree:doorag:

What is a rear wheel hugger?

Its a fender, very close to the tire. It can stop stuff from being flung back under the bike.

A close tolerance fender that mounts on the swingarm. Comes in a variety of design and manufacturers, but they normally mount in the front of the rear wheel. Some aerodynamic properties, but also offers great protection to the shock, drive components, ect., by capturing debris from tire...I also like the look.

I sure hope so - I have one on my FZ1 motorcycle and it really is worth it.

Maybe we can arrange a group buy from one of the Carbon Fiber fabbers that sells on Ebay.

MRB I see you also removed the belt guard. Don't you worry about getting rocks in your belt? :dontknow: Looks better and easer to check belt adjustment though.

If you check the web site http://spyderryders.net.au you will see it says -"(If you try this be careful of the exposed belt without the belt guard. A small stone caught between the belt and sprocket can be expensive - it has happened! Steve is working on a custom belt guard now- will post details later.

This is Steve's bike -I certainly would not operate without a belt guard.

fender redo

Someone needs to make a fender that starts near the shock and comes up over the top of the tire but stops before the tail light and hugs the tire.

Sounds good to me.

Even the inexpensive 150 cc Chinese scooter I purchased for my wife has an "inner fender" that prevents the splatter mess that is the norm for the Spyder.
