Which rear hugger?

[binkatracer900]

Picked up my tracer on the weekend and after not many miles at all the rear shock is covered in salt and much due to there being a hole right in the middle of the rear hugger, so easy part is just to fill it in but wondering if anyone has fitted a longer, better rear hugger.

Cheers

Put a Fenda extension on the hugger on my MT-09 and still get crap all over the shock.

I fitted an R&G hugger, and my shock stays clean. I've not read of any other huggers or extenders that actually do much good. My back, helmet and pillion seat still get wet and covered in a thin film of mud, but that may not be such an issue on a Tracer as it is on a MT-09 with tail tidy.

I have a fender extender on my MT09 and as Bloggsy says absolutely useless. I am thinking of getting one of those back mudguard type things that fit on to the side of the swinging arm. The 2017 MT09 has something similar might not look pretty but does the job. I have a friend has something similar on his SX works a treat.

Or a shocktube is another (cheaper) option

I've ordered one of these...

The mount looks a lot more substantial and less prone to cracking than any of the others out there.

The one I posted can be found on ebay for £44.00, sorry but £120.00 for a piece of plastic is taking the piss.

This probably improves things by about 50%.

It's not cheap, but it's probably the thick machined alloy mount you're paying for, rather than the piece of plastic. It replaces the R/H chain adjuster block.

OK I got mine to also add to the looks after the paint job but seems to work ok. Wouldn't bother with the 'sock', if shite does get in it can't get out again and also it doesn't protect the mount or the base which is where mine started to turn brown, A good dose of ACF50 sorted that !

 

[Flobalob]

What make is that one looks trick!

 

[Russ Quinlan]

Was this one, nae cheap (its CF) but I think it looks great which is what matters, isn't it !!

Can also get other colours for the mesh

Mud flap

Well I can't see how to make a new post, so if moderaters will do it and tell me how. I missing summat!

Rear mud flap. I been having a little play and used a bit of wagon inner tube, fitted it on a flat bar. Bent each end in right angle and drilled 8mm holes to take a longer nut and bolt in the rear foot peg hanger.

Not been out on it yet!
