Hotbodies rear hugger

AZDocG · 07-10-2011, 05:43 PM

I just installed a new Hotbodies color matched rear hugger for my Thunder Grey S1kRR. Three bolts, 2 minutes to swap out the OEM black plastic piece. It extends further back over the rear tire by a few inches, and has a small vented cowl instead of the larger opening on the OEM piece. The right side has a clean looking flange that secures the ABS cabling for the rear wheel against the swingarm. Coupled with the HB undertail, it gives the rear end a nice clean color matched look! Still looking for a slip on, but since I like the look of the stock, and the power:weight ratio is already overkill, no big hurry

I like how they have done the break lines going under the hugger,but id like to see a carbon one ;') Do these come with the spacers so it doesn't rub on the swing arm?

If you look closely in the pix, the plastic is depressed around the bolt mounting holes, so it only contacts the swingarm at those 3 points. The rest of the assembly floats ~2mm over the surface.
