I have a 140 tire on mine and it fits fine....a 150 would be pushing it.

Jeff,
How about a 140/80?

I love the hugger by the way.

...i would think a 140/80 should fit as well...you might have to put a small shim under the mounting edges to raise it up a bit if its too close for comfort.

PM'd you the details.

I have a 140/80 rear tire on the back of my bike, do you think it will work on it? 

Has anyone fitted the hugger over a 140/80 tire? Sorry for beating a dead horse, but I want to make sure my preferred replacement tires fit before I purchase them (with or without shims to raise the hugger).  :dunno_white:

Sorry, don't think it will fit a 150..i have 140 on mine and there's still a bit of clearance. I believe its mentioned somewhere earlier in the thread exactly the width of the inside of the hugger, don't remember off hand.

Random question, What's the point of this part...?

Maybe I'm missing the "cool" factor in this...

Got mine a few weeks ago, one bad ass product, made like you'd expect it to be made from NASA. Fits like a glove, works like a charm.....and yes, its VERY "cool"

Thanks Jeff

Chopper_Gone_Sport Biker   -  Glad you like!

MajorMalphunction   -  I ride every day to work rain or shine...so it keeps the back end alot cleaner and keeps all of the junk off of the rear suspension.

Just ordered the carbon fiber one. Glad it is still available!
I like the comments that it helps keep the suspension clean.
My 2009 GS500F deserves the best!

Update: Its on its way! Yea!


adidasguy

Arrived today. Slips in perfectly - no problems at all. Beautiful craftsmanship! I ordered the carbon one because my "Suzi" deserves the best!
I will permanently mount it this weekend (or maybe tonight).

adidasguy

Got it and installed it. Looks great. Easy to install.
Thanks so much!

Cars have fender liners to keep mud and dirt off the suspension and other under body parts. This does that.

adidasguy

It really does keep the suspension cleaner. There is a gap in the GS fender at the bottom and this covers that gap. Added  Alpinestars sticker on each side and it gave it that cool factor. Everyone loves the look of it.

Hey Jeff, how about a passenger seat cover/cowling? No one makes one. That would be cool. Then I can screw on a couple bars and have a cargo rack. Make it stylish, black to match the seat, a little black rubber edging and I'd go a couple hundred for it easily.

airbrush

no plans on making a passenger seat cover, and this will be the last batch of huggers for long time...just too much time involved in making them.
Once this batch is gone that will be it for while, anyone still wanting one let me know.

You do really nice work. Too bad you're not making other parts for the GS.
