Title: Hugger for GSXR
Post by: markmartin on February 04, 2012, 05:58:49 PM
Does anyone know where (if it's possible) one can purchase a hugger that will fit over a 17" GSXR 5.5" wheel mounted to a stock '89 FJ swingarm? 
Has anyone done this? 
A source and a part number would be great.

Thanks,

Mark

I asked Mike and his reply was "The rear hugger is off a Gsxr I have to go look in my notes what year but I think it was late 90's

Mike"

Well, during the last WCFJR I was trying to get close for a picture when Mike decided to perform a Blip test on his carbs and forgot his bike was in gear. Holy CRAP!!! He spun the rear like he hit butter and he and the bike were closer to the grass than he would have liked. I think our local Brit might have some footage of Mike's unfortunate mishap.....

Let me check my photos to see if I actually got and pics.
