I've got a yellow 99 f4 with an undertail (don't know the brand) so it's pretty clean looking. I want to keep it fairly clean, too. I don't see many with rear huggers, so I'm having a tough time picturing it. I would go with black or cf if I was going to do it.

Any opinions, pics?

 

well ive had my stock tire hugger on my bike since i got it, but recently removed it and think it looks much better without. take it for what its worth, just one mans opinion.

 

 

Is that real carbon fiber or just for look? Where did you get it/ Who made it?

 

it doesnt look like real carbon to me, but i could very well be wrong.

 

Hey Mike, is that teh F4i? I like the way you painted the rearsets and pedals... looks great!

 

I think huggers are a good idea...especially if you do a lot of riding in rain, thru debris filled areas - like sandy roads from winter road jazz, etc.

 

it probably would look nice on my brothers 99 r1 its looks good adds more detail to it

 

Thanks man. yeah did a quick rattle can job on the rearsets... amazing how many little pieces there are to em when you take them apart...

That body style R1 does look good with a carbon fiber rear hugger thing. My buddy (roommate actually) has a 2000 R1 with one


It is rear CF, CarbonTech makes it. Picked it up on ebay for like 50 bucks damaged (super bent) heated it up with a heat gun and reshaped it though.

 

I don't have a hugger on my bike and it looks great, really cleans up the back end BUT I do have a Hotbodies hugger (black) and there are a lot of stone chips on the bottom of it now. If you ride anywhere that has sand/small rocks then I would put one on, or else it will ruin the painted fender in about 2000 miles.
