Rear tire hugger

Post by CollingsBob »

I bought a rear tire hugger from https://www.caferacerwebshop.com/en/

https://www.caferacerwebshop.com/en/rea ... -1300.html

The installation instructions are in greek ( yes, greek) and very poorly translated english

I see that they also have fairing lowers..

Oh, I like that! Never seen it before for the FJR.

The brackets that come with it are unpainted mild steel. Mine are getting powder coated today.

It will be a few weeks before I can get it installed. I’ve got some work to do on my Vincent first.

I had one on my bike. I believe Fairlaner had the first one. Ours had stainless steel hardware. The inner fender worked really good. And ours came from Greece.

This one came from Greece too..The hardware might be s/s but I wanted it powder coated black - satin finish..
