I agree with the idea. I have purchased a carbon rear from a forum member but not yet installed. The reason being - probably as you're thinking - is that the OEM hugger is a bit 'out there' (and with respect, more so with the Repsol scheme) and makes the rear look quite bulky. The only reason I haven't fitted mine is that I need a longer screw to fit through the carbon and the chainguard lug because the carbon mounting point is a bit thicker and doesn't have quite the flex of the OEM plastic.
Yea I agree, Iv a bit of carbon fibre on the bike but fancy a bit more Found this one which looks to be same size but only in carbon
Lozzy's looks great. A much nicer profile than the one on the 'overdone' red bike. Also, I think that's one of the few pics we've seen of Lozzy's bike clean!
Ricky, I had an 09 Repsol with the repsol hugger and I thought it was a bit too much after a bit. The Honda racing Carbon one is much nicer and highlights the Orange wheels more.
No sorry mate, I didn’t get round to changing the hugger in the end. I then part ex’d The bike. I seen an 09 Repsol at Cadwell with the Carbon ‘Honda Racing’ hugger and I thought it looked magnificent. Those Honda carbon ones are bloody expensive mind.
I'd take some more recent close up photos except there's scratches & chunks out of them nowadays .....don't want to give any ocd folk on here palpitations
@hitch, @Golfy, @keithg1748 and I appreciate your concern. It's so great to have an 'Elite Member' looking out for us!!
Carbon rear hugger and camera fitted... local road race on tomorrow so cleaning bike up for the run down to it tomorrow
Want to change headlight bulbs to something 6000k white.. any recommendation on hid kits or is it best to just change to a white bulb?
