Yep this is some super sticky rubber not foam so it should hold up. Comes with plastic rivets if you want to use .there was enough left over sticky to use again if needed.

Cornersruns Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Pyramid Plastics. After a ride through torrential rain today in Sussex, lots of crap washed into the road (nearly dropped it once on a downhill corner with rubbish washed across the road, somehow managed to hold it upright 🤥) Bike was spotless before this ride, 130 miles done from delivery on a very dry hot day, so don't know how bad it would have been without the hugger. Fender extender has done a much better job, radiator was still clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to order right from the pyramid plastics web sight and from the UK so it took a little while but I feel worth the wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhchris Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Thanks. I found one on Revzilla that will fit and extends 4.5 inches over stock. $65. 1968 Triumph Bonneville 650 1971 Norton Commando Roadster 2002 Harley 1200 Sportster 2003 Honda ST 1300 2016 FJ 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlambke19 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I bought the actual replacement hugger from Pyramid and like it. It definitely offered more protection from spray than the stock one. It's a lot more $ than the extender and in hindsight maybe I should have gone that route. I have the front fender extender but haven't installed it yet. PP is a great company to deal with - as are most of the other UK-based companies I have dealt with - EvoTech and Speedo Angels to name a few. Worth the extra $ to get the real deal imo. Not interested in the rip-off copies that you can find elsewhere. Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpippin Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 MotoMachines in Virginia sells Pyramid products There is a replacement hugger available for the Tracer GT Pyramid Plastics Rear Hugger Extension Yamaha Tracer 900 & GT Matte Black ... I've had on on order however there was a problem with a few units breaking at the attaching point. I contacted Pyramid and they told me this; Yes we have since bought our own Tracer in to complete the fix for this part (as it proved more tricky than we'd expected) and we are close to having a solution. We hope to have it sorted and back on the market within the next 4 weeks - you will see it appear back on our website as soon as it's ready 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally different. The Pyramid 072447M rear hugger is a replacement for the OEM that extends the length of the original hugger by 6 inches (152mm). The 072446 hugger extension is 5 inches (130mm) longer. So the 072447M rear hugger replacement offers more protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the hugger replacement - I did have some fitment issues - to the point where I removed it temporarily. @dpippin - when was this? I might reach out to PP and ask them about the "new" version.

Thanks Rob Here's the e-mail reply I received from Pyramid on August 19, 2020 Hi Doug, Yes we have since bought our own Tracer in to complete the fix for this part (as it proved more tricky than we'd expected) and we are close to having a solution. We hope to have it sorted and back on the market within the next 4 weeks - you will see it appear back on our website as soon as it's ready 👍 Regards Adam Pyramid On Wed, Aug 19 2020, at 03:45 PM, Pyramid Support <2e10pgqjl3mol4j3@emails.gorgias.com> On Wed, Aug 19 2020, at 03:45 PM, Doug Pippin <doug.pippin@bellsouth.net> I tried to order a 072447M rear hugger for my 2019 Yamaha Tracer GT through a local dealer. In July they contacted Pyramid and were told;"We have sold lots of the 072447M hugger, but a small percentage of them have 'cracked' near the mounting points. At this point it would be unwise to sell further units until we find the definitive solution to this problem."I'd still like to get one of these huggers. Can you tell me if you've made the fix and if they are available now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
