I got a hugger off E bay . It was like 100 bucks . It is made of plastic like the stock chain guard. It came shiny black and matches perfect. It would bolt on Quick and easy if I had a stock chain guard . But I have a metal one . So I had to modify the chain guard and the hugger to get it on.

The reason I wanted this is the K&N pods get soaked with water when I ride and the whole engine gets covered with dirt . I hope this helps . Plus I like the way it looks.

dude that looks nice! i kinda wanna get one cuz my shock or atleast the spring is starting to rust.. must be all the beach sand on the roads i guess.

do you know if that would fit a 150/60/17 tire? or is just for the stock tire?

 

[CSBrad]

That looks wide enough to fit a bigger tire... BTW do you take that thing mudding or something? Looks a lil grimy, lol, no offense

Just got home. I ride in rain snow sleet ir hail. I moved ir as far forward asI could to make room fo larger tires.

hahahah good enough reason to have it!

Racer X, does that hugger just slip in and bolt down (on the stock bike) or do you have to unbolt any parts, remove the rear wheel, etc?

 

[Racer X]

It slips over the stock chain guard . on the right side there is a nice bracket . That comes with very strong Velcro pieces . I drilled and riveted the bracket but the Velcro will hold it

Hah, what about the rain and dirt?

I shine it up every night . Don't you worry about that .And when it is wet I put a fan in front then after dinner I move it to blow from another direction . To dry the inside . Then a wipe down with Honda Shine .

 

[metbandit1]

nice! i need to wash my bike but its been hard with the rainy weather

 

[Racer X]

The spelling thing comes from using my phone at work . I just bang it out with no clean up . If it seems like I am drunk it is because I am at work LOL

5 years later.. I just bought my '12 ninja 250.. And i am thinking of getting a rear tire hugger from ebay.. One thing i worry about it is it might wobble on bumps and will it fit still with my 150/60/17.... I have not find any reviews on ebay about the product: Puig Rear Tire Hugger '12/250r
