was curious to know if anyone knows where I could find a rear hugger that would clear a Michelin Pilot Power One tire? can't use my stock hugger cause it wants to rub on it...

 

[abzx10r]

good question!!! I would say messure from your tire to the hugger and then start calling places that sell huggers asking for messurements from tire to hugger compared to stock...thats your best bet to start out, heres a link to where you could start at...Yeah dont kill me cause its google haha...

is the pp bigger???

 

[LouisZX10R]

Why would the PP be bigger? the numbers on the tires tell you how big they are, there are very small manufacturing differences between the brands that it doesn't matter, you have to see what size tire it is, by the numbers, and then see if it fits, compared to what you previously had. This holds true for mainly road use

Now if you want to go on the track mostly.... that's another story...

I personally prefer the stock Bridgestone BT016, had only good experiences with it and did a "few" laps on a track with them earlier this year and had no problems at all. But they are at the end now and need replaced... guess what I'm going to put on next??? :mrgreen:

if you can find one Pyramid makes taller ones ....i have one on my RC-51 and it cleared a 60 before, ( didnt run it just wanted to see if it would fit )

have power one's same problem. Actually didn't make that big a difference...I had mine on for a few weeks until i just sold it...slightly rubbed...gl with finding one that works...

Add a washer

Add a flat washer in between the hugger and swingarm.
This will raise the hugger off the tire,plus do what its there for.
You might need to replace the OEM bolts that hold the hugger to the swingarm with a little longer ones to accomodate the flat washer.

What size rear did you get ?

 

[RogueNinja]

some tires grow at speed, such as the old dunlop gpa's. ran a 60 series on my 04 for the track, had to add links to the chain, slide wheel back, and remove the hugger.

or you can just take the hugger off ??? some tyres are taller in the center compared to others same with weights of tyres some weigh more than others for some odd reason prob just depends on who made it and what mold it was in... and how much the rubber cured and shrank etc. etc.... no 2 tyres are the same or perfect...

we got a 190/55 on the rear!

Are the 190/55's a taller profile than the 190/50's ?

 

[anthonyzx10r2008]

when i had my 04 i took the hugger off to me it looked better

 

[ajrocket]

go with glockt, add washers under hugger and bolt it back down.

Some people complain that the CF finish is not the best, I don't know. Bought parts from them customer service was good.

yes!!

aloha, the m-pilots are taller and will rub. I had a similar problem with the pirelli super corsa on my 04. the solution, add a spacer, your choice from your local harware store, may need some longer bolts and that sir will give you additional clearance with no issues.

Glockt made the same recommendation. quick fix, low price and you keep your original hugger minimizing damage to your undertail or body work from rocks, etc.

mahalo. o

I took mine off from day one. Looks better than that tent Kawi puts back there.

Nah not a tent LOL its more like a big ass scoop shovel back there.. but I like mine keeps the tail so much cleaner and esp if ya get caught in the rain... my 08 6R didn't have one and it sucked cause I was always cleaning the under tail section.... and the rear tyre would fling water all over your back and legs...
