sonnykalaria Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Hey Fellas. looking for a rear tire hugger that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted March 3, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted March 3, 2018 I have both the rear hugger extension (the real carbon version versus ABS plastic model, which I drilled and bolted on along with 3M exterior double-sided tape) and the front fender extender... both very effective and minimalist in design. There are Chinese copies of rear extenders that are pretty gosh on ebay, etc. https://www.pyramid-plastics.co.uk/accessory.html?accessoryCode=2855&accessory=MT09-FZ09-HUGGER-EXTENSION-inc-Tracer https://www.motomachines.com/Pyramid-Plastics-Extenda-Fenda-Fender-Extender-Yamaha-FZ-09-FJ-09_p_5052.html https://www.pyramid-plastics.co.uk/accessories.html?catnum=102160&h=16_102152&d=MT-09%20Tracer%20%2F%20Tracer%20900%20Hugger%20Extension They have huggers too but they are not much longer than OEM, though they are painted to match. https://www.pyramid-plastics.co.uk/accessories.html?catnum=102624&h=16_102152&d=MT-09%20Tracer%20%2F%20Tracer%20900%20Huggers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonnykalaria Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 Thanks. Do they keep the dirt from under the seats? i heard that the fender extenders don't really work. I was thinking about the tire huggers that are mounted on the swing arm and are at the very back of the tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsmith Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Hey Fellas. looking for a rear tire hugger that works. Keep lookin' and post anything of interest. Many have sought, few have found...

I was thinking about the tire huggers that are mounted on the swing arm and are at the very back of the tire. I rode through wet roads, mud, rain, etc and the underside of the tail still gets spray but not too bad. Its a lot better than without the extensions, which are relatively inexpensive, easy to install and looks OEM... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huck Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I use the R&G hugger Go here: https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/rg-racing-rear-hugger-yamaha-fz-09-fj-09-xsr900 It is easy to install, integrates well with the bike look and really works well. It is a lot bigger/longer than most. It keeps the shock clean, and the underside of rear end. I use soft saddle bags and it keeps the inside of these bags clean as well. It has been on since the bike, a '15, was new with no problem. It does not interfere with real wheel removal. Living in the NW, I ride a lot in the rain. This unit has been very helpful.

I've had my eye on that one as well and I sure wish I could see a better pic of one mounted. BLB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At $160... yeah, pretty steep... but maybe Ali and Tosis will get their hands on one soon. Perhaps @huck could send them (or just post it here I guess) a good quality shot of it on his bike. These two pictures aren't taken at the same angle, so it makes it difficult to compare. Offhand, it looks like the one on the left is much narrower, but it's not clear which one covers further to the rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wordsmith Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Another one piece option, although still looking a bit more form than function. IMHO, that looks OK: give it a slight downward 'lip' at each side to minimise outward splashing of water, and it would be fine I'm sure. Length could be a little greater by 2", say, and a little side-on curvature following the line of the tyre would make it visually a little more appealing and effective maybe, but a good start. 7/10.

Easily twice what I'd pay for something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
